Someone making some sense...

Dudley Dix gets political, a report some folks would rather have you not read, and so much for "safe and sane"...

I've been spending quite a bit of time over at the TriloBoat blog as Dave seems to be making a lot of sense these days and face it, folks who make sense are in short supply!

The Trilo Boat concept is sort of an Advanced sharpie meets raft/catamaran and, for the way 90% of people use cruising boats, it would work just fine... With the bonus that it would not take years of saving and work to get on the water. Like I said, it makes some sense!

Actually, of late, I've been thinking just how nice such a boat would be for hanging out in the Caribbean... Someone could hop on a airplane with a trunk of tools and the plans, then once here find someone with a backyard you could rent for a couple of months. Almost all of the needful materials could be found at the local lumberyard...

The resulting boat would be quite happy sailing from island to island and hanging out, sort of a movable condo/RV with a seafront view on a budget...

While you could safely sail such a boat over to the Med or someplace further if the urge set in and the Caribbean got boring (it does happen), but I'd consider just selling it and then fly to wherever I wanted to be and simply build another... Hell, you might even make a profit in the process!

I've been thinking (always a dangerous pastime) how cool a boat Dave Z's little B'Tugly (a riff on the old Bolger Super Brick) would be down here...

Makes all kinds of sense!
