    What about a sailboat designed to be able to load, carry, and offload a single shipping container? That would be a fun design project.

    Tad has a nice 60 ft sailing cargo design on his site jamie. I don't think a 1 container boat would be viable be because of the containers tare weight. Thats 2 ton extra goods if stacked in the hold without the container.

    At least Capt. Noah didn't hit an iceberg. AFAIK, all his passengers survived.

    Nope. I'm a Texan.

    But I just can't resist being silly if there's slight pretext....

    If you want to believe there was a boat with 2 of every animal species on earth fair enough. I prefer the real world. But i don't want to go any further on this subject here. Pm me if you want.
