I myself am not a boat guy. Sail boats too complicated and power boats are way too expensive in gas.
But i always dreamed of retiring and sailing around the world.
This boat would be my dream..

We already have an existing technology for eco-friendly boat propulsion. They’re called “sails”.
These guys are 5,000 years behind the news…
