    This is a poor man's boat, the Caterham replaces the standard sports boat in the garage, you can't have both . . . :p

    Dutch fishing Botters (pic 1 to 3) also have free-standing masts which is to ease the handling of the fishing gear.

    Converted (pic 4) to a Botter yacht, or built as one, they usually have a tabernacle and stays, but I'm not sure about the tabernacle in the last pic.

    Must have good tires. Tricky getting enough speed on that short deck to stay on top of the water . . .

    Boatdesign.net blocks this link posted complete, so I'm not sure it's safe to use it, but it says . . .

    Maybe the Sunseeker has an automatically retracted double gangplank or so to launch the Caterham, or they do it like this . . .
