Now that is hot.
ps. how about i just draw it then build it like I draw it. Sounds better to me. As I get down to a shape that can handle what I want it to be...
Added some more cabin space. And I like spinning my wheels ;) [IMG]
new design I think I'm moving back towards a less aggressive design. Maybe even a greenhouse in the back dome. [IMG]
felt like if I wanted to be able to stand on stilts and collect tidal energy a wave piercing form is ideal. Also with all the reduced weight, it...
reduced streamlined cabin [IMG] [IMG]
update body shape *length of pontoons changed to 40 ft *excess structure removed. *removed separation in legs to reduce wave interference and...
also was thinking today how the windmill would work much better in the 'splits' position, for stability reasons, but also because then it could...
Cool :)
Doing the splits. [IMG] [IMG] In this position, something like an outboard electric motor on the back could give speed assist... But for the...
I'll put up a new model soon, based on what Rurudyne said about the legs on the boat doing the splits. What if the pontoons could be positioned...

Haha. thanks for all your input in this thread man
Maybe true, but I suppose I want to look into a bit more before I take this for granted. Using this...
