Not my cup of tea. Too much plastic. Don't like the open transom either. The dinghy "garage" is cool. What's the purpose of the "carousel"? Is it to keep the weight to leeward/windward or just to keep the crew entertained? If it's the former, that's one more thing to deal with before tacking. Moving the heavy side to windward would probably require it to be motorized. One more system to break.

But, I guess it's stuff like this that advances

the art of marine architecture.

Sorry, Red, but I gotta agree with John. Looks like a spaceship on the inside. Which is cool if you want a spaceship, but not a sailboat. I like my boats to have "classic" lines. I like wood fixtures and accents. (Almost wrote just "I like wood" there, and then thought better of it.

) In fact, the more any boat looks like a classic sailing ship from the late 1700's to early 1800's the more I like it.

Reguarding the JP - The revolving storage is an attempt (or result) in eliminating more complex systems to move ballast, they claim.

"The satellite is a storage space which allows the transfer of the weight on board windward in a few seconds. "

Those silly French..

It ain't your granddaddy's sailboats. But hey, I can remember when we laughed at Tracy Dick's armband phone.

I'd love to see a sailboat with such an interior and speed and an easy place to put the inflatable.

Now that's a pretty boat, Stink. Although, the one that looks a bit like the Starship Enterprise does have a certain appeal. But that's also not a sailboat. I'm a little more forgiving of futuristic looks in power boats.
