This is kind of interesting... Does anyone know what boat this was formerly?

A Nissen hut.

What do you mean, formerly ? It is described as a 40' Newick sailing catamaran, do boats have past lives ?

it was discussed elsewhere quite recently. Check the 84 OSTAR entries and you will see it

built by Shaw in his backyard
sailed to England then turned around to enter the OSTAR 84?
late entry at start & slapped with 14 hour penalty
w/o penalty would have been 5th in class
28 boats retired
very respectable first time competition?
