Bet that would be interesting in rough seas...

Looks like a spider on skis...

I saw the article in the paper this morning too. Thats pretty cool. Its draft in the water is only about a foot.
|
Pretty tough to fish from a boat like that.

You can lower the crew module and fish from it, evidently. But it doesn't look like it has much of a rig to "sail" away.
It's hard-hitting science journalism that lets us know what they had for lunch! JP |
Cool, we now have a name and some numbers on it. I posted pictures of this craft a month or two ago, it's as weird as it gets but follows the old form follows function rule.

Proteus is also the name of a very common bacteria species that likes to colonize the urinary tract in some women. Not quit as fancy little bugger..

I thought this was the Proteus:
