This is folly, sir. I predict a short journey, some "unexpected" weather event, equipment malfunction or mishap, and an expensive rescue effort in hazardous conditions.

I can't imagine voluntarily spending 3 months in that boat. A Smart car has more space.

Keep up with your goal and faith Andrew, you'll make it because you just decided to; your determination is your main power source. Make sure Dryrobe will also provide you with insulated socks: several pairs of different sizes, some thinner for skin contact and some thicker for overall wrapping within the shoes; that means the shoes shall be accordingly oversized and insulated. Same thing eventually with the rest of the body clothing and full covering. Can you position some solar fabric inside the dome with a battery and ups and heater system? Eat vitamins and appropriate energizing food, even flatulent ammunition's such as Cassoulet, mashed potatoes, everything armful and energizing. No ice rocks in the beverage made in either South and/or North of England. We anyway stand by you Andrew, best of luck to you Noble Gentleman from England, Pierre Alain from la Gaule.

Keep learning that boat I wanna see you succeed

weather is going to play a significant part in this venture . And please tell me you intend to spend at least 5 days and nights in the boat, as part of your sea trials ? I was also wondering if you'll have a chaperone or standby vessel in case of an emergency ? with that said i do wish you the very best of luck and truly hope you achieve your task . To quote a friend of mine , " that's a small boat for a man with big balls " !! Godspeed my friend .

Usb heat pads/insoles, power packs charged by additional solar panel. Can also be used all over body to alleviate chills, I'd also take an electric massager with the three balls as you'll need to think about cramps and aches. Have you got a UV blocking film over your bubble? If you'll not burn. Also dry bags for everything. Everything inside and waterproof the rest, silicon any wires and connections. Imagine if it filled up with water. What would you not like to get wet, everything inside is my guess. But if that bubble isn't covered with a UV protective layer, I hope you consider this before you set out. Good luck !

There is victory and there is da feet!

I'm a cold weather camping ninja. Wrap ya feet together b4 entering bag with anything dry n insulaty u have. Not 2 tight ya on a boat n mite need a quick exit. Cold flow from air blast. Anything as a wind stop (none permeable membrane )eg plastic bag. On the outside will stop cold air pushing out warm. Good luck ya'll need a bit. I already prey 4u loving your work

Have a roll of reflective foil, like you put against a car windshield, to keep from cooking yourself and your head (above, on the clear hatch) Also, to have a break from all the sun . . Fellow sailor.

a vessel than was built to fundamentally incorporate a body in locomotion (like a bicycle/pedalo) would keep the feet warm and be great for all body maintenance. But I realise that would both need a lot more calories in and that pedaloes are terribly inefficient , even to use pedalling to generate electricity would be a waste of effort , especially with all the sun available. But purely to maintain the body it would be incredibly valuable.

my dream is to geneticaly engineer an miniature elephant that would stand in the palm of my hand. He would be my buddy and rince my teeth after brushing. So, i will never ever judge anyone's dream, even if i don't understand it the slightest.

memories of crowhurst

...I meant 'everything warm and energizing'. Perhaps a Nasa space blanket used as reflective pad for solar light inside the cockpit or a body warmth lining within the clothing could be useful....?

That boat is so small, how could anyone want to sit in it?

This makes me claustrophobic just watching. You are a trooper!

OMG so extreme.

Totally pay attention to your body temps. Stay warm and breathable. Hypothermia can set in quick and ruin your adventure. Be safe and think ahead.

hi -want this to be a success next time ---did u look at neoprene ( as in divers socks ) -best of british -frazer

I just watched your video on the hatch cover you made, what are you thinking of using epoxy with chopped mat?? No one does that, use something decent, biaxial,or triaxial,,, ,, for example.

I need to see more videos on this

Would it possible to have a passive heat exchanger as part of your dorade?

The one question everyone probably has is what considerations have been made for waste as in the waste the human body produces constantly. Someone with a colostomy and catheter would be ideal for this.

🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷👍👍

What is the final hill length of this boat in inches?

Glue some deflectors to the air inlets Andrew, I'm sure you have sorted it by now anyways 👍 following all your progress and wishing you fair winds for the adventure ⛵🏴‍☠️

when do you take off ? :D

Just sleep upside down...

Once you work the bugs out set sail. God’s speed !

Do it Andrew

Anyone thinks this was anything but a scam I have some magic beans to sell you

A fantastic adventure. I wish you luck and that you succeed. I can't help but feel that a spinnaker type set up isn't a great idea. It limits your direction of travel. Better a conventional sail but I am no expert and could well be wrong. You could have perhaps had a spinnaker or kite as well as a conventional sail.

I would also be concerned about blood clots in your legs. At least you should be on a baby aspirin?

First of all , it’s not a boat, more like a 55 gallon drum , I watched a sea trial that was posted, a complete disaster you’d be better off riding that thing over Niagara Falls the insanity is beyond belief

I hear a lot of naysayers in the comments. When this guy makes it across the Atlantic...No one can’t top that less they swim.

Good luck mate. YT needs some new content. Im getting bored

You should have built a bigger boat , and that hatch on top is too flimsy if you get his by a big wave , you will be crushed and drown !
