I like the way it looks. Is it gonna be on production or just a concept?

Hello...
Thanks 'Blared' - this muck has been in the back of my head since I was 12 - I am now 38 - Commodore 64's - did not have a lot of software for designing boats at that time...
As much as Microsoft sucks - and Microsoft DOES suck - at least they gave us a good start for the time...
I would really like to build this thing - probably 1/2 or 3/8 inch foam core - a lot of aluminum pipe and a bit of carbon for the mast...
I will do up the interior bits later this year...
I would also like to keep floats parrellel to main hull - but retractable - for trailering or powering on the water...
What thoughts people...
Thanks in advance...
SH.

What is the idea behind this design... crossing the ocean or just for fun?

Hello...
How do I answer that question - I imagine you have not had to endure a West Coast winter being a 'Med Man'...
It is not so bad as Central NA - or Northern NA - where it can get to -40 deg. C - but - it FREAKING RAINS ALL THE DAMNED TIME - during the 'winter months' - here...
So I designed this thing - it is a - go fast - sit down - face forward - (I have a permanent neck injury from sitting 90 degrees out from the direction in which I was sailing... ) - just grip the wheel - drive it like a car - go steamer fast - one sheet - and just have a blast...
There - that is my just made up - design brief...
Cheers...
Hope you are well...
Your own boat is hot - but you need to proof your English copy...
SH.
