    What type of hull would this be?

    In my search to find a picture of a Catamaran equipped with an outboard (SJFE) I stumbled on to this image.



    I think it's pretty cool. What type of hull would you say it is?

                            The boat in Question was designed for an around the world race

                            “The Earthrace” its hull is designed to go through waves instead of over them with its “wave piercing hull Design”

                            Here is their website http://www.earthrace.net

                            I started to make a rc model of it but did not get round to adding the outriggers and at the time did not have drive hardware to finish it.

                            Here is the half finished hull made of balsa wood

                              It's a surface-piercing hull. It was made to make an around the world voyage, unsupported.
