it is not really a keel - it is a counterweight

Sure. hence the need for daggerboards. The hull design looks interesting and there looks to be a step just fwd of the keel/weight. They should try venting bubbles under the hull too. That's another not new technology
And while I'm at it, why not host the counterweight on a low boom swinging fwd around the mast that way it's never in the water and held by the already strong mast structure thereby saving weight?
