I'm quite sure Sven realizes that floating around the Sargasso sea is not a proof of concept for rounding the Horn, and changes to the "itinerary"...
I agree that the boat is not quite suitable for rouding the Cape Horn, and I would take the statement even further, and say it most certainly is...

Meanwhile our controversial swede has yet again, as no surprise to anyone, changed his plans, scrapped the previous prototype, and is now building...

Meanwhile Sven has made it to Porto Santo, and, once again, Youtube: [MEDIA]
I was kinda imagining a head, holding tank etc. In a boat the size of the Exlexes o_O
Ewwww:confused:
