Do you have any pictures of the boat? Or design sketches?
Or the beer you have been drinking?

Sounds like a good man! However, that project is huge, expensive and may never see the water....such a shame. You see dreams like this in folks backyards and spare land just fade and die.

I once had a dream to build a steel yacht..woke up to realise it was easier and more cost effective to work at my own trade a few more years, save money and buy a boat.....gets you out there quicker in my experience!

Are you going to time travel with it?

Looks like he is planning to build in Mexico then sail to Thailand. It is a big project to start at the age of 70, but he is a scientist !
