Tri & Tri again

I don't know what's going on here but I reckon the owner's wife doesn't like heeling. Do you think he's going to keep the ballast keel?

They are called hydroplanes. Lots of submarines have them.

Maybe it'll fly like the 'Dawn Treader'?

 

[Csail]

On a serious note....what are they trying to do????????

GOK. He's extending his waterline and the struts can only be for tri-hulls.

I assume "they" are trying to trick people with Photoshop. I don't see the shadows of the wings on the ground. You can see the shadow of the top of the ladder, so you should be able to see the shadow of the front wing (would that be the canard?) but you can't.

Get them slaves a pulling....

Must be for pirate renactments. Arrrgh! Walk the plank my beauty!

Or how to turn an indifferent boat into a complete POS.

No shadows in the picture because the sun is so low.

What on earth!?!?!

Is there one set going on each side?

Hope he plans on adding some water-stays or they'll be broken off when he goes over his first wave.
