    looks like a high speed impact between a fishing trawler and a home-built sailboat built by a TV antenna salesman
    The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

        yeah, but it might be a lower frequency and more tolerable than that whippy sound made by most wind generators.

        I'd be interested to hear the logic behind the decision to go with those rather than traditional spars, though.

          I suspect they may be lighter. They also serve as a ladder if you need to go aloft
          What's not on a boat costs nothing, weighs nothing, and can't break

            I think it miaght have to do with the builder's tallend/skill... I"ll bet there's a welder on that boat
