Where do you put the girls in their bikinis?

You'll have to ask Murph. He's the sailor.

That is wicked!
Similar to what Hobie Cat did with thier Hobie TriFoiler

The Sailrocket looks blazingly faster but obviously not meant for a consumer market like the Trifoiler prototype was.

I'll take one of each, please!

The Trifoiler looks like something a normal sailor could operate under normal conditions..

The Sailrocket was optimized for wind from one direction specifically to set the sail speed record. I believe they hit over 100 kph (sailrocket did a respectable 80 kph).

I'd pay good money to ride the sailrocket as a passenger though.

Hmm... Been pondering this one for a few days and I don't think there is room for bikinis on that boat. The bikini girls will have to ride buck neked.
