My Guess - It's two boats
One behind the other. It looks like you can see just a little of the stern of the hidden boat.

Trimaran
I wouldn't think a ketch rigged tri would be all that unusual, fellow down here has a steel barge rigged that way.

Definitely A Tri
If you look close you can see the triatic stay between the mastheads. Ketch rigged tris and cats are not that uncommon, especially older larger boats.

Charter tri
I agree with Tim - the triatic stay is the giveaway. Looks to me like a custom charter boat. Trevor

ketch rigged tri
I enlarged it 500% and there is clearly a triatic stay between the main mast and mizzen mast. Ketch rigged tris are not uncommon - a friend sailed one around here for years. The centre hull is much larger than the two amas - it is the centre hull you see at the stern.

Tom, what'd you use to blow up the picture?
My eyes hurt from squinting at that little shot. Ed, you know, you can post a large picture here and Phil won't yell at you. Exceeding that size limit doesn't crash the software at HOW anymore.

Little bigger
I used Photoshop to enlarge the image. The picture quality is poor, so any larger and the image becomes too grainy. Hope this helps. Trevor

edit
Fred I right click on the pic and save it to my hard drive then open it on my hard drive, right click and then click "edit" which opens up microsoftpaint then right click "image" then right click "skew/stretch" and chnge 100 100 to the percent of increase I think I did 200 200 which doubles its size. My 19 year old son taught me that one.

Ketch Rigged Trimaran
There's a ketch rigged trimaran in the 30 foot range quietly rotting away at its mooring in Mt. Sinai Harbor, NY. It hasn't been moved for several years and the mainsail gaskets have evidently disintegrated because the sail is beginning to blow around. It's a pitiful sight.
