A very very strange novelty. It's not really even a legitimate catamaran. It's an absurdly long but narrow monohull with two pontoons stuck out to the sides. I'm not sure I'd give $8k for it, much less $800k. I looked and looked for redeeming features and never found any.

That's because it is a trimaran, similar to a cat only with an extra hull [emoji6]

Yeah, but, did you see the anchor?
But it claims to be a catamaran. Yes, it's a trimaran but neither extra hull is of any functional use. It's like a boat that wouldn't float, or couldn't handle waves or something so at home someone decides to try these two pieces on it. I think there's a good reason you can't find Stuart Catamarans today. I suspect this was the only one ever built.

More like outriggers on a Polynesian canoe. Or on local boats in Philippines, in Boracay or El Nido .
Exactly

Surely an impractical boat, unlike all our (TF's) boats. 
Gee, there is even space for a second dinghy!
Wonder how those side pontoons can handle a hard hit on a dock.

Thanks. Long time lurker. Signed up some time ago to contact a member about his boat.
Probably should have made my first post about anchors.

The concept is a long skinny hull can be driven to high speeds with less power. A narrow hull is less stable (unless BIG like a carrier) so the amas keep it upright.
With no sail load the amas can be quite small, like training wheels.
With fracking , the way to" drill here drill now" without fed permission the price of oil is low enough for folks not to bother with "efficient".

As I started reading that sentence I expected it to end with "an extra long tail."

It's some bodies dream.
But now their dream is for sale. Did it turn into a nightmare?

That boat has been on YachtWorld for years...
So imagine all those pictures taken when it was first put on. Wonder what it looks like now.

Definitely doesn't meet my or Chapman's definition of a "trawler."
