Next generation of sailing without cheating like using a gyroscope. The (moveable) swords and rudders are shorter then the ones from Sailing catamaran 7. Also the sails are bigger. And last but not least: she has a moveable piece of ballest, wich gives her the possibility to sail 50 mph with 20 mph wind on around 100 degrees away from the wind.

Now anough with the commercial. I hope you like it. or not. That's fine with me too.

CONTROLS:
Yaw and trim for steering.
Throttle for the main sail.
VTOL #8 for the foresail and VTOL #1 for the moveable ballast.
