It's certainly big enough...I have mixed emotions about packing large numbers of "civilians" into 150 mph catamarans. Certainly the speed is just a number to them and feels much the same at anything above 90 or 100.... but the risk of accident and injury increases dramatically as the speeds go up. I'm a big Skater fan and Peter has made some huge cockpits as well, which also give me pause.

Clicked on the link for the safety guidelines and I didn't even have to go past the first page to tell you that the guidelines are old and inadequate. Folks it is 2013 not 1995. time revisit all those guidelines and make amendments. Boats are traveling much faster than they did in 1995. Just saying!!!!
