And you still didn't realise it was a sailing boat. Wow! This is a whole new level of stupidity!

He does seem to have a lot of self belief, but while he seems quite willing to die for the sake of not having an epirb etc, i'm surprised his wife or other friends would be that comfortable with it. how many miles do you reckon he'll get before the coast guard have to go and rescue him?

I'm gobsmacked. Have you seen the HUGE list of electronic items? How on earth is he going to power them? I can only see one really puny solar panel in the pics! I think he'll abandon the attempt after the sea trials |

that guy must be absoloutley mad. does he seriously think the boat isnt going to fill up with water and if it does has he got a pump, he didnt say anything about that in the article. how will he "rescue himself" if he gets into difficulties, i give him 3 weeks if the weather is nice and about 3 days in the southern ocean if he makes it that far. |
