Under the fancy name Seahorse the band released the first sample homemade catamaran Seahorse. However, to call “it” catamaran is quite difficult, because it combines elements of different water vehicles, sometimes literally. Creator of unusual vehicle is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts Russell Randall. As noted by the inventor himself, his engineering inspiration he drew from the work of his university teacher Mark drill.

In general, American catamaran Seahorse turned in the best Russian tradition: simple, cheap, and most importantly – safe. At first glance, it is doubtful that the Seahorse generally able to swim, especially knowing that it must move the propeller on the rear.
