It's just a lot of work -- not a thing that could be considered especially innovative, or requiring special skills. True, that, but I can see how pouring onesself into a dream like that would humble a lot of people. I can see why the divorce happened. Luckily, they're still friends (we hope). I can see how making something themselves would save some money, but some of that stuff, like the multi-pitch prop, would be absolutely dragon's teeth to fix on a remote shore. Some things are better bought. I question their pouring of lead directly into the bilge, too. I'd have cast 'em in sections with winch eyes, as hull repairs would be unlikely as-is. Where are they going in that, anyway? -- The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been. -- Madeleine L'Engle |

I was driving through the Mojave Desert on the way to Mojave when the engine died a mile out of town. Stuck float, wouldn't tap free, so I walked to the auto parts store, got a bucket of cleaner and carb kit ($8 all together, IIRC, so you know it was a long while ago) found a house close to the road and asked to use their hose, and got her boiled out and rebuilt. I was back on the road in under 2 hours. The Mojave heat dried the boiled and douched carb in minutes. For me, ex-VW mechanic, it was no big deal. For her, not knowing any of it: "Wow, that's so complicated." Yeah, after tech school for me, too. Long schedule, apparently unlimited budget.

It's just a lot of work -- not a thing that could be considered especially innovative, or requiring special skills. The totality of it, all together, is what makes it humbling. However, I will moderate my praise until I see this boat sail and operate in real world conditions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayKOlLhlQsc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6TYQZd0HPs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdf5iHQnU1w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLdXEwhsDiM and this too http://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/A...ts/MAB1514.pdf Was it expected to not sink? It's real ugly too, so no loss either there. This is exactly my sentiment. I was happy to read that the boat maker went bankrupt due to this accident. The $10 million boat was a total loss. I bet the insurance company declined to pay, which is perfectly legal and expected, given the cause. They did decline to pay and a big legal battle ensued. Not sure how it ended. |
