    Looks like one of the G-class trimarans... according to the Google Earth scale, it's about a 115-120 feet long.

    Trimaran in Nawiliwili

    That thing is an old derelict, rotting away in the back of the bay. As far as I know it has never had a rig, and hasn't moved in many many years. The Kauai lore is that it was locally built by a dreamer who thought he could compete in "The Race" on a budget of $6. The back of the bay is as far as he got.
