Gunboats are very high-end luxury catamarans designed by the firm Melvin and Morelli. They also designed Dennis Conner's Stars & Stripes IIRC.
One of my favorite
videos is from the Safaricharter.com website, which is for a Gunboat 62. The video shows it passing a Reichel Pugh 80 racing monohull like the poor leadmine is going backwards...

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
