  • sailors have lost their connection to water. too much high technology-to keeps us connected to land! these floating apts that entomb us instead of the freedom of open boats! use no navigation instruments- instead learn what the primitive knew by instincts! a wayfinding techniques! refuse to bring anything other than whats legal- no internet- etc.!! the fear and aloneness-loneliness forces you to turn inwards!- only then can we know the true rapture of the wilderness of ocean.

  • i met that guy 0_0 i have a poster w/his signature ^^

  • I guess U just get a big fk off engine - Or a very very good media team ROFL

  • You could, there's no limit by the rule, though it does not make any sense as you have to fit the boat in a box rule and fulfill stability requirements all along.

  • What limits are there on these boats ? I mean could you have say 10000lbs in the keel say
