    Hi all,

    Got sent a brochure on this little beast and I wondered if any of you experts had seen it at all, seen any reviews (Google didnt find any in first page) or have any opinions.

    She looks a bit strange probably because she is so short and her deck is high out of the water. The sailing shots and videos here http://www.dorguloff.com/videos-photos.html she looks a bit unstable for a catamaran - looks to behave move like a mono-hull dinghy in healing over and certainly she looks to have a small beam. Or is that just the deck height again making it look that way?

    Looking forward to some thoughts from you experienced multi-hull designers.

    Cheers,
    Andrew
