It may just be a concept design, but this is truly an avant-garde project that questions the balance of form and function in traditional yacht/sailboat making.  Oh yeah, and it looks really cool.  Lila-Lou‘s Ankida looks like it might be piloted by Lex Luther, but its genius is not evil.  Not to get too technical but the genius in this design lies in two basic areas.  First is the innovation of mast, sail, and keel integration with the hull.  The second is the dynamism of the sail position provided by a unique mast and sail structure.  Click HERE for an in depth review or continue on for some more photos.
