      Well, I think he has already set a record for "masts per meter"

        Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.

            Wonder what food HE hated as a kid?

            Bedwell, who wanted to take on a “big challenge” before turning 50, will survive on vitamin-based drinks and food bags made of beef jerky, raisins, and fat, which have been moulded into the walls of his cabin.



            There are two kinds of boaters: those who have run aground, and those who lie about it.

              Monumentally pointless and stupid, but what the hey... if it FLOATS HIS BOAT, whatever. LOL>

                a 1 meter coracle made of reeds would have been interesting.

                a 1 meter pod made of frozen snot and beef jerky for some reason causes me mostly to think about hygiene.

                    I don't see how it could succeed.

                      That pod of boat attacking orcas which has been making the news lately could use him for a game of soccer

                        Just waiting for some free publicity. Next he'll be sailing a 16 meter boat from Newfie to Baffin with only 4 bikini clad super models for crew..... In August!

                          The "bow" is already buried, so I'm thinking it's going to be flipped and tossed in any weather at all. Then the question is whether the rig will survive.

                            You take a perfectly good yacht, pop off the keel. attach the mast to the keel and sail it to America.

                            Oh, and paste your food onto the interior..... (ceiling food?)

                            Where's the flaw?
