She can sail on port tack, but is optimized for speed on starboard, with the crew-carrying hull to windward as well as the single wichbone bomes, which allow a clean flow over the leeward side of the sails. The bold and singular look of this craft stems largely from the ambitious single beam connecting the two hulls. Making this long, single span work takes some very clever engineering and construction, for the loads are enourmous.<BR> <ADDRESS>(From "The Need for Speed" by Garry Hoyt in Sailing World) </ADDRESS> <HR> <H1>Here are some more pictures of Charente Maritime</H1> <A HREF="http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/savineau/SPEED/PICTURES/cm2big.gif"> Large size GIF high quality format (158K)</A> <BR> <A HREF="http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/savineau/SPEED/PICTURES/cm2big.jpeg"> Large size JPEG medium quality format (78K)</A><BR> <HR> <A HREF="http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/savineau/SPEED/intro.html"> Back</A> to Speed Sailing Page <HR> </BODY> <ADDRESS> Last modified: Wed Jul 12 09:38:13 EDT 1995 <BR>[email protected] </ADDRESS> </HTML>
