Interesting design. Looks like it could fit in a standard slip.

And, a standard slip looks like it would be the only place for it.

Where's the MAST?! It can't be that stick held up with lawn furniture
sticking out the front, can it? If that's the mast....Where's the BOOM?!

Can you imaging zooming along at 10 knots having to go out in the waves to
tend sail standing on a 2X4 between two hulls with the ocean whizzing by
UNDER YOUR FEET just waiting for you to slip? Will your head hit the back
crossbeam if you do?

Geez....maybe it has a trampoline...

Was looking at the hull arrangement and function of spreading the hulls.
Passed it on to Roger because, with his background, I thought it would
interest him. No more than that Larry.
I'd think/hope/imagine there is a stick and boom. Can't imagine the
engineering and building to the point they are at without planning for the
rest of the boat. The pole off the front looks to be for rigging the
foresail. A tramp would last longer and not foul the hull spreading
mechanism if removed before folding the hulls.

Actually, after watching the video again the stick looks like it's in place
and the pole off the front (may be the boom) looks to be a "gin pole", a
mechanism trailer sailors use to raise their masts without a lot of help or
excitement.
Serves me right for trying to remember instead of checking it again prior to
sending my first reply.
Didn't see any lawn furniture?
