Hi Alf

Design wise, she looks like Earthrace/Ady Gil (Sea Shepherd), although this designer claims a copy of Polynesian canoes.
You would want to hope it's collision avoidance system didn't go into shut-down for the trans-ocean cruising boats out there!

Interestingly, the company claims that since they aren't shipbuilders, they came at this thing with a fresh look.
Otoh, their CEO (allegedly a computer nerd) is a former Boeing project manager. Worrying, or what...?!

Yesterday when we left port it was a grey morning, and talking of grey, this was right outside our harbor entrance

I could have docked right inside of her

The landing craft (I think there are four inside of her) were transporting tanks and armored vehicles from shore to ship

She is the Mistral (or at least a Mistral class)
