The Challenger could do with an update, but if they're looking at disabled sailor then going to need something more stable than those floats

I think the poster may have been taking the mick. I agree with Bert, I think it's someone's attempt at bettering the Challenger trimaran. Iiitick is right, the floats are too far forward and too short, but the gnav looks like an improvement.

It appears to me to be designed for people with disablies & the reason the floats don't go very far back might be for wheelchair access.

Crude attempt at self deprecating humour tick, I love to see ahem 'eccentrics' going their own way, can't think why.

Stability? I would have thought that when a thing like that heels it would dig in a float and go arse over t*t pitching the unfortunate operator in bobble hat first! I think it should be painted red and called lobster.
