What kind of boat is this?

[J de Vries]

Hello All,

Long time listener, first time caller.

I have listed some links below to a certain kind of catamaran I've seen a few times with a raised cockpit over the hulls. I think it's neat. It would also be good to know if you can buy them - so far I've only seen them on custom builds.

Thanks in advance for helping me out.
