Cool little boat. It would be easy to add radio control to this thing,I think…

Well, it looks nice to me. A similar concept was tested on a monohull in Sweden some years ago (in model scale). The basic idea being avoiding mast in front of the sail during upwind. As I recall it worked rather well, at least upwind.
