    V2 is basically like a buoy when everything’s sealed down. I can literally seal the hatch, sit in the harness, and ride out any storm while she gets thrown around. That is why we have made the boat quite tender because we want her to roll. It might seem odd, but if you’ve got a boat that is absolutely set vertically with a massive keel on the bottom, a big wave could come in, hit the rig and break the rig, so we will roll; it will just be like a great fairground ride.”

    yeah. a fairground ride that youre sealed inside of while vomiting as you are mercilessly tumbled around in circles for hours and hours

    90 days forced to remain sitting or standing, wearing a dry suit that will reek of rancid BO, dirty butt and farts before the end of day one, unable to lay down to sleep. Unable to even have a shit if the sea state is too high and you can't open the hatch without flooding the boat for a few days.

    Fuck. That.

    This is taking masochism to a new level. He can, of course, do what he wants. But my god this is a dumb idea.

    I get this is an endurance test, but this sounds miserable. Not being able to lie down for 3 months would be awful.

    100cm?

    No human would say that. Any real person would say 1m.

    Or if you're a human USian, something like 1/2 fridge or 6 big gulps

    That's not a boat, that's a fishing bobber with extra steps.
