This a sketchup of how the Boat looks using the modular system. The central mast can be used to put up a shelter and to attach a sail when we want to move, The addition of moveable rudders gives us more maneuverability in the water; this plus the addition of multiple sails gives even more ability to navigate. The ballast is retractable for navigation as well. One of the highest priorities in the design is the ability to escape the vessel if it capsizes. We have a number of ideas on this in development that can be utilised using this system.
More flexible version, not hard floor, just modules, large double ballasts. By Cesar Harada & Owen Hodgkinson
