[PUP] New Wave Piercing Passagemaker

[Brian Chiko]

Folks,

There is an interesting new Wave Piercing boat out of the UK.  Check it out
at this link.  Click on the photo on the page for a full size view of the
boat. It increasingly seems to me that this is the future of passagemaking.

Lots of good photos of the boat here:

The #1.5 million, 22.5m VSV (Very Slender Vessel), named MarySlim, will
enable the bold and intrepid to explore the globe - quickly, safely and with
the maximum fun-factor to boot. The pioneering powerboat features
wave-piercing technology that allows it to plough through storms no other
vessel would dare to tackle. Her revolutionary design makes the MarySlim
ideal for cruising the globe and adventuring in the most adverse of
conditions and with minimal crew.

You can check out the many photos of the boat being manufactured here:

But the web site seems to be having problems right now (I had no problems
yesterday).
