A few things to note in the plan views above:
1. The beam to length ratio is larger than other catamarans, adding stability without sacrificing performance.
2. The hull flares out from the waterline adding both boyancy and internal space.
3. Low profile, greatly reducing windage adding performance and pointing ability.
4. Shallow draft increasing seaworthiness and accessibility to beaches. The draft on this 32 footer is only 16 inches.
Summary: We wouldn't spend every bit of our spare time building just any catamaran. This beauty can cross an ocean, compete in a race, or sit for weeks at a time at your favorite deserted beach. Check out this amazing video from Fossailing.org as they sail their 31's of the same design in a major race and accross the Atlantic Ocean.
