I rather like these high tech catamarans, and am intrigued by the 
much-more-efficient rigid sails and their potential long term application to 
more efficient long distance shipping.
As far as the sponsor banners are concerned, somebody has to pay! I find 
this less offensive than commercial breaks on tv or radio (which are the 
devil's work IMHO)
