I may be blonde, but why are there two wakes?

Has the RNLI gone over to catamaran hulls for its sailing lifeboats? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Not a problem they need worry about as rescue boats are exempt from duty on fuel.
Good photo though!

Norway used Ketch rigged lifeboats for many years with great success.
