I really didn't grasp the size of that drone. It is not a little model boat, it is a ship. This video shows it being launched, and includes images of what it looks like:

That's a larger model, this is the earlier Saildrone Explorer mentioned in that video. The vessel they are launching is 72 feet long, this one is 23 feet. So not a model boat, but not large either.

Could somebody please TL;DR the wing design (of the big boat) for me? The one with the additional extra wing?

The hurricane wing? It's smaller.

Ah ok ... no I was asking about the full size wing with that second wing attached to it.
