Hi, folks ! ... I fell over this picture on the FB profile of a French sailor... but I didnt get there any details about this (kind of) boat.

Beautiful snap, isnt ? :-) (The excellent photo in high resolution 1920 × 1080 here)

Interesting concept of boomless double masted rig. - Is it a Wharram ?

Happy Sailing

It is definitely a Wharram, I think the 63' Pahni (name?). I have seen such a Wharram cat but with booms in the Aeoloian Islands this summer.

Interesting the concept...

The Pahi 63 is a tribal boat, suitable for expedition sailing and for larger groups of people to cruise or eco-charter.
The deck/accommodation layout resembles a village, with a central public area including ‘well’ and (optional) ‘hearth’, surrounded by private cabins. This centre deck and the separate aft and fore deck areas give three large emotionally different spaces, enabling people to have hours in seeming solitude.
This deck layout combined with the 'Flexi Space' hull cabins (all with their own entrance) enables 8-10 people to live peacefully together for weeks at a time.
The Pahi 63, based on traditional Polynesian double canoe principles, is most suitable for use in warmer climates.

A giant ! Impressive boat...
