So according to the prototype Paris nº 1 and its defects, we have changed :
- enhance capability of self-righting (more floatation on top on every side)
- reinforce overall structure with metal mesh rebar
- Addition of the flexible ballast (inspired by Givens invention)
- make the 3 hulls deeper and slightly curved to dive in the waves more smoothly.
- have 2 anchoring points for 2 kites attached to the main frame front
- have 2 lateral openings on each side for fishing and rowing (alternative emergency propulsion)
- main openings to have an doorstep higher to avoid too much water entering in at all times.
