Sailboat With Twin Hulls Reaches Speed of20MPH The fastest sailboat in this country coun-try is undoubtedly the "Sea Spider," Spi-der," a 25-foot catamaran, whose extremely sharp twin hulls, joined by a framework supporting the mast and cockpit, are 12 feet apart, says Collier's. In recent trials on Long Island Sound, this craft reached a speed of 20 miles an hour, which is faster than the records of other types of sailing vessels and even many motor mo-tor boats.
