I didn't plan this, so it isn't as cheesy as it first appears...

With our purchase of the Weta, I did a lot of research on small craft - Hobies (Tigers - oooooohhhhh yeahhhhhh, 16s), Megabytes, Nacras, 420s, Lasers, etc - but I forget to check in on what is happening in the world of big boats.

For one, big boats are way out of my budget. Somewhere between Neptune and Pluto's orbits.

I was also not paying attention because the America's Cup litigation - Now that the courts have settled the issue and the race is impending, the clubs and teams are starting to reveal the vessels to be used - Huge Multihulls.

Ok - back to the subject at hand and the explanation for my earlier comment - what do you get when you merge the two craft I have listed on this blog - the lovely BMW R1200R I recently sold (and posted pictures of earlier) and the Weta Trimaran we just brought home????

With the pictures attached, I make the answer obvious. This trimaran is the contents of my garage, squished together and pumped up with anabolic steroids.

Oh, and their garage is also on steroids - huge does not do it justice.

I know this is not a post on HOOYAH - but how can I resist??? I'll make an exception for this boat and the boat it will compete with (Alinghi's Catamaran).

It will be very interesting to see the developments over the next few months and leading up to the races next year.

These boats bring lots of funding, technology and crew experience - should be a catalyst in the resurgence of recreational sailing. I know it worked for me - subliminally even -
