This is double trapeze boat which is adopted since Sydney Olympic.

It's characteristic is the big sail in proportion to the body of the ship. It is a fast “marine F1” and hard to balance.

Although Dinghy yacht is the boat to sit on generally, this is only the type for standing.
It has the strap at the back to hook toes in like windsurfing, and it is used with two people in the strong wind.

Sometimes it gets so fast and you can get blown away and even break bone. We only got bruise so far.

It’s not common in Japan yet. But it’s getting popular in Europe, U.S., Australia and all over the world, and about 100 teams enter the world Championship every year.

Once you see the boat, no doubt you come to be a fan of it.
