Neither does that mastic job around the escape hatch! Fair play the bloke has got some bollox on him! Imagine that bad boy in the southern ocean! If that boat was around where i live the local Pykes would of nicked it for scrap metal! there has got to be a couple of grands worth of alloy there! Just hope he dipped the stainess bits in that stuff before bolting them on !!!!!! |

Frightening in the extreme. Let's just hope that the thing breaks up close to land as soon as it gets going and the guy gets picked up. For goodness sake if you are going to build a home made multihull at least make it a cat where the loads are a little bit less scary... Good luck mate...you'll need it... |

Terrifying. I really hope noone else has to risk their lives to pick him out of the water in a few weeks.
