Yellow Pages Endeavour is highly asymetrical and has three short planing hulls. The one to the right is the lead float, whilst the two on the left are trailing. Two people ride in the upwind float (closest to us in the last picture) which rises out of the water when going at full speed. This boat has 9 small hydrofoils under the pods. The front pods are orientable for steering the boat. YPE uses also a solid wing sail. This boat was designed by Lindsay Cunningham who also designed Australia's repeatedly successful Little America's Cup catamarans.
