If it had been launched straight it would probably have been ok, then first time out in some rough seas it would have gone down. Not much draft or beam for such a tall boat. It would have been dependent on ballast and stabilizers. $10mm of junk.
Kind of seems that way doesn't it.

The latest on the other thread is that it has been re-floated and is incapable of remaining upright without support from the crane.

Is the guy in the video talking about it going to cry? He acts like he's watching the Kennedy assassination or the Hindenburg disaster.

Is there a crane that can lift that thing????If so why can't it assist in the launch:confused:

I saw that it is already back on dry land. From what I read all the lead ballast was not in. nobody seems to know why.
