Ok, so I wasn't on a boat, but I was near the water and saw a bunch of
boats. I have a question about one I saw. It was a sailboat with only
one mast. It was not small... probably 35 or 40 feet long. It was
strange for a couple of reasons. First, the only mast didn't have any
wires holding it up, at least none I could see, but it was a huge
(thick) mast. Second, the mast was not in the "normal" position. It was
really far forward, almost to the bow. Third, and the truly strange, it
looked like a big windsurfer. I used to windsurf, so I know what that
looks like. It had two booms in a bow shape wrapped around the mast and
going back to the cockpit.

So, what is it? Is this a normal sailboat? Sorry if this is dumb
question.

If you were up here,I'd suggest a Nonsuch sailboat.
Not sure how popul;ar they are below the border. http://www.nonsuch.org/

Are the better, worse, or the same as a regular sailboat? Thanks, but
having lived (briefly) in the frozen north, I'll stick to warmer climates.

Never been on one although there were a couple at the yacht squadron I
frequented.
I think most people would prefer them for ease of cruising...rather than
racing.
My impressions...big, expensive, heavy looking cat boats with maximum room
down below but not overly fast.
