RIB Sailboat

Saw this custom-built catboat:

...and I thought "that's something new on the top of the sea".

Yes, it's a sponson-sided schooner sailer. Bet you can't say fast three times...

Dunno about that but I always thought it would be interesting to build a trimaran with floats being inflatable, for easier retraction and lighter weight.

It's one way to make a boat unsinkable

Yes, but is it necessarily unsailable, or, barring that, unsaleable?

(Sentence is designed to confuse Alex and Tomaz...)

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.
