Interesting article however it is a sailboat (cat-ketch) with a big 
freestanding rig. Not sure how the term "hybrid" came up -- I wouldn't call 
it a motorsailor either. As mentioned in the article Randy Repass (west 
marine) is currently cruising in a sister ship somewhere in the So. Pacific.

The designer, Tom Wylie is an excellent west coast designer.  Probably the 
best sailboat I ever owned and the most fun to sail was a one-design boat he 
designed.  If I were in the market, he would be on my very short list of 
designers I'd talk to.

Interestingly I was out at the Farallone Islands this past Saturday. The the 
Baylis was anchored and a Boston Whaler (I assume theirs) was looking for 
sharks to tag.  Didn't see a shark but we did see a lot of humpback whales 
and the usual dolphins.
