YPE could loosely be described as a proa, because it sails only on starboard tack. It rides on three hulls or pods located at the ends of three wing-like arms. The vertical wing mast is mounted on the hub where the arms meet, and is stayed by wires. The craft has eight or nine foils under the pods - three on the forward pod, three on the aft, and two or three on the crew pod. The three forward foils rotate to steer the craft.<BR> <ADDRESS>(from "The Need for Speed" by Garry Hoyt in Sailing World, June 1993) </ADDRESS> <HR> <H1>Here are some more cool pictures of YPE</H1> <A HREF="http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/savineau/SPEED/PICTURES/ypebig.gif"> Large size GIF high quality format (90K)</A> <BR> <A HREF="http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/savineau/SPEED/PICTURES/ypebig.jpeg"> Large size JPEG medium quality format (45K)</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 26 15:13:27 EDT 1995 <BR>[email protected] </ADDRESS> </HTML>
