Cool link, thanks! I have seen a few pics of Slingshot trialing on the
Great lakes, didn't know any specs.

A boatbuilder near here (Durham NC) built a 40' trimaran intended for
the speed records. He said it had the disconcerting habit of
accelerating until something broke. Eventually he put foils on it, but
after about two dozen crashes he gave it up. I saw it on a heap behnd
his shop and asked about it, never saw it sailing.
