Crossbow (proa)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Crossbow was an early 1970s proa (or asymmetrical catamaran) sailboat.[1]
"She was 56ft long, built of cold moulded plywood, with a 60ft mast but only 22 inches wide."[1] The smaller, outrigger hull was 30 ft removed from the central hull.[1]
In 1972 it claimed the record for the world's fastest yacht at 26.3 knots.[1]
Crossbow is still preserved and is owned by Sir Timothy James Alan Colman.
