sparky-elpaso Posted January 8, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Book me on the first trip, please. Something tells me it would be mega expensive to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feathersandnananose Posted January 9, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 9, 2016 OK, it's interesting, but I'd want to see the stress testing required to insure its ability to withstand rough seas. It looks lovely in those drawings with smooth-as-glass water...... ....just saying..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulewagon Posted January 9, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I'd want to hear from shipbuilders on how this would hold up to high seas and how well it would maneuver. I think there's a reason ships have always been compact and kind of pointy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted January 9, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I don't like to click mystery links with no clue what it is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare babs135 Posted January 9, 2016 Author #10 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I don't like to click mystery links with no clue what it is about. Sorry, you're right in that I should have put more info into my post. In mitigation at the time of posting I was coughing my head off (DH has kindly given me his cold) and I was worried I might not find the link again if I left it until later. Am I forgiven, please ? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatbush Flyer Posted January 9, 2016 #11 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Obviously, whoever did that design doesn't know much about naval architecture. And then, there's the practical consideration of harbor limitations all over the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted January 9, 2016 #12 Share Posted January 9, 2016 It might be viable in calm waters, but can you imagine if it hit rough seas? I get nauseous just thinking about it! Smooth Sailing ! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimnbigd Posted January 9, 2016 #13 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Probably would have to always tender at ports including the departure port. I can't imagine how this could dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
