Interesting, but it does seem to have a leeway problem!

I think you will find that is called 'turning a corner' rather than '45 degrees of leeway' |

I'm sure the boat itself is a one off, but the general principle is not new (South Sea Islanders actually!). Called a Proa you can regard it as a trimaran without the excess drag and weight of the windward hull. Instead of tacking or gying they do what they call "shunting", which is literally stopping the boat and sailing it off in reverse! Downwside is that the hull has to be symettrical fore and aft which isn't that clever. Some are designed and sailed with the rig on the leeward float, some with the rig on the windward. |
