$50 sailboat race. the materials had to be worth less than $50.

that was the original criteria for the optimus pram. under $50. The original concept was for a bed sheet sail but the designer talked him out of that.

This boat, unlike the Star boat, would quality for the AiT. Who wants to volunteer to make history?

This looks like a Thule five footer. If it floats with body weight it actually may sail with a lanteen rig (like a Sunfish), but it’s gonna need to lose the lee boards and replaced with a piece of planking as an above bow, radially attached, full length keel board. Otherwise all this does is rotate in circles. Decades ago, in a barley pop infused challenge, I built a sailable truck sized inner tube craft. I failed three times before the thing was functional, but I had a lot of fun (and beer) trying.

As it stands I’m liking the wind powered porta potty suggestion.

What was your first clue that the winter solstice was near?

What was your first clue that the winter solstice was near?

he's a celestial navigator and noticed how low in the southern sky Orion is.
Probably to get a closer look at that car too sailboat.

Apparently, the idea has gone commercial. Hope the original designer is getting royalties.
