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. </P> <BR><BR> <CITE>(from "The Need for Speed" by Garry Hoyt in Sailing World, June 1993)</CITE> </BODY> </HTML>
