Wetass Video Of The Week: It’s all Transat all the time, so here’s a spectacular video of Yves Parlier’s radical, hydroplaning catamaran shortly after the start. Parlier’s cat is still in the development phase, and it’s not optimized for upwind work (before the race he said it would be a victory if he could just finish). So it’s no surprise that he’s at the tail end of the 60-foot multihull fleet. But judging from this video, Parlier may be on to something with this crazy-ass, new design…



Parlier’s Baby: “All I need is flat water and 30 knots of breeze and everyone will stop laughing at me…”
