It was around a while ago and I have to say it's a horrible looking beast. The fact that it's in carbon yet they can't even trim the sails says it all, and the motion looks horrible.

Why on earth not just give it some longer hulls? There's a reason good boats look like they do.

Kankama RE This boat violates pretty much all we know about good multihull design - a travesty.

Oh, but it has a water slide. Doesn't that count for anything?

Wow, this thing is not just ugly, but completely lacking in performance! 13 knots is certainly nothing to crow about, while pitching about & copping a drenching if there was any sort of sea. I missed the bit where he told the details of its motors, which are surely going to be its most important feature. Maybe should cover it with solar panels and go electric; couldn't look any worse!

Euro 4,250,000.00 and gosh only 3 will be built then the moulds will be deconstructed..........expect #2 and #3 never will be and the moulds have already been deconstructed.

"The Hanstaiger X1 is a limited edition trimaran that will be produced in only 3 copies. The shipyard based in Alicante, Spain, even assures that it will deconstruct the hull molds"
