OK, so you wouldn't want to be seen in a sailboat doing 25 knots..... but what if the thing is 156 feet and you can take your entire family and their farm animals with you? Is it still a travesty of Naval Architecture?

That's a big swinger with beaching rudders.

The carbon-fiber telescoping mast is interesting. That technology probably would be the answer to our age old trailer-sailing mast raising problems. Imagine how nice it would be to have a mast that weighed 25 lbs and telescoped to 15' in length.

Check out those spreaders! Maybe they're airfoils designed to lift the boat out of the water...

Hmmm,

I wonder if Tiger Woods knows about this one? Maybe I'm unsophisticated, but the furniture looks a bit like some stuff I saw in the lobby of a Holiday Inn.

That entire site is full of amazing boats. I wish there were more pictures of Shamrock V.
