well you found yourself a POP-UP catamaran. It was a novel piece of engineering that it could right itself out on the water by relocating the CG over the CB by hinging the hulls and well... the pics would be a lot easier to explain it... but basically from it's sailing position to 90 degrees to each other and then back to sailing position. A styrofoam float on the mast head kept it up until you could winch through the process. It worked, thought not quite as reliably as you might have wished. Still, it was dependent on the guy that finished out the boat, and was sailing it as well.

The boats came along around 1980-81. Not that many of them were made. We have 2 of them here, and they have been long out of production the last 25 years.

Good Luck with it if you intend to restore it, if you want to sell it, I know that the guy here that has two of them would like it for parts if nothing else. EMail me if you would like a buyer.
