This is such a fascinating cat! I'm truly in awe of the function of the A-shape mast! The observation platforms are such an ingenious design!

I've only had sailing experience with single-mast monohaul vessels, so this beast you have is like a sci-fi concept to me.

  • I'm still trying to understand how it performs under sails?
  • Do you deploy one at a time?
  • Are they intended for mainly auxiliary use?
  • And I see a photo of both sails unfurled, was that for demonstration purpose, or do you actually deploy both in certain situations?

Anyway, please keep posting, and spare no details - I'm very curious about this project.
