This is weird..I have mixed feelings. But generally I like it..However its going to be tough for him to take off with this in an idustry that is so driven by tarditonal values... who will laugh at it...who will like it??

In one hand I like the invation and the fact it may be simple to operate, and with a nice modern hull design it may become aesthetically nice.....

on the other hand, how reasonable will it be with a latger scale rig? On a larger boat, sailing in stronger winds, where the stiffness of the mast will have to be higher, since there are no shrouds? Is mast tech and materials up to par for such an application?? I don't think it is yet...what thickness and weight would it be??

The problem I see is that no matter how nice it works or not, it will not go because we're all biased by the triangle.
