wow, that is really good company to have! Last summer I was in Newport and there were, what I think are sailing catamarans. It looked like a heck of a lot of work, but serious fun. The two guys were jumping back and forth between the platforms working (for lack of the technical term) the sails and they were picking up some serious speed. Have you ever been on them?
