So i thought this fits here, he calls the boat Helios 11 and builds it with very little experience. He docunents the adventure quite well and shares what he learns, and also shares all the plans for the boat for free.

Such a cool project. Now, if only I didn't live 1000 km from the sea in a small apartment...

Just mod it into a helicopter to carry the boat, easy.

Yeah I'll make a design on the back of a napkin. Nothing can possibly go wrong.

Just build it out the window and wait for the waters to rise. Biblically correct method 👍

You get to have a bicycle and some backyard grown potatoes for fuel.
