I am sure that this is another cunning scheme from Atlantic Web!
If you look in the bottom picture closely it looks supiciously like he is controlling the throttle on the tiller!!

Not much more top heavy than a rib, surely, it'll just rely more on dynamic than static stability (Since it looks quite a lot like a naked rib n'est ce pas?)
Wouldn't image it'd recover too well from a good stuff though.

Standard I expect. Must be a new fangled tux with a built in life jacket, and I am sure the vessel is coded
