    The boat will surely be on it's side, just open the window and swim out... unless it's just on fire.

    No it doesnt - I have been through it several times, and back to the original article.

    You had better attach the document that says it, and say what page or where it states it.

    This is no trimaran

    Is trimaran or not? But, who cares?
    Abandon ship: it has two boats, so-called free fall, below deck, aft.

    None of which will be usable when it flips over.

    The whole ship is a huge blunder.

    hahaha - I just noticed my mistake in thinking that your diagram was showing negative lift - the hull is actually traveling left to right, blunt end first, not right to left, pointy end first.

    I made the wrong assumption that all boats go point end first :rolleyes:

    Apologies for my mistake. I will look more carefully next time.

    No problem about that. In fact, back then I couldn't figure out what negative vector did you talk about, but then decided the issue was really not so important to discuss too much about it... :)

    Cheers
