The patent discloses a multihull watercraft with a unique hull configuration providing numerous benefits. By relocating the passenger cabins from the float hulls to the upper hull, the accommodation space and the float hulls may be independently optimized. The new configuration also provides reduced windage, and creates additional deck space for easier boarding, recreational use, and safer access to shore craft. A new sailing rig is also disclosed that is easier to operate and maintain than the conventional Bermuda rig. The entire rig can be rotated with a single winch or control wheel to achieve the optimum angle of attack into the wind.
