So i thought this fits here, he calls the boat Helios 11 and builds it with very little experience. He docunents the adventure quite well and shares what he learns, and also shares all the plans for the boat for free.

Frankly waiting for the news story where he gets killed "proving" his concept...

The first warning bell was "rated for cross-atlantic"... "rated" by whom?

Of course then there's the latter part where he talks about the next one is going to be super amazingly polished autonomous vessel with everything up to and including a sauna from the solar... And of course the sovereign citizen take....

Cool doing a project like this, but it smells of overconfidence in what it currently is and how trivial it will be to get to something much much more...
