    That sounds incredibly boring and dangerous at the same time

    I've sailed the Atlantic many times. The swell can be huge. I was in a 144m long navy frigate and everyone was seasick when we had 14m high waves. Everything broke. We could only go straight into the direction of the swell, otherwise we would capsize.

    Best of luck dude, I hope you have better weather. But you're stupid AF.

    I just keep picturing it as some sort of fishing lure for a giant ocean creature…I watch too many movies.

    Can’t even lay flat to sleep or rest. That would be a non-starter for me.

    To me it looks like it can be completely sealed... and hopefully it's designed for auto-rolling back upright.

    That being said I wouldn't want to experience the feeling of a tennis ball in a hurricane for several days should I face a storm in open water... let alone the accompanying lavatory and supply situation as well as parts such as the mast and the panels being ripped off.

    /edit: readability

    In the comment article, it says it’s build to act like a buoy, and will be like a “carnival ride”. It’s also able to be fully sealed for 45 minutes at a time and has some kind of snorkel system he can use. Looks like it can be pressurized too.

    Combined with the small dome for his head it looks like a CTE machine to me.

    gyro-seat! actually that's not a bad way to compensate for the excessive movement of a small object. gyro-cabin! A small boat is moved more than a large boat, this one is tiny. Imagine walking on firm ground after being shaken like an unopened soda can for a month.

    3 foot boat smaller than airplane seat

    Airplane seats are bigger than 3 feet? Are they going by First-Class seats?

    Having faced Atlantic swell in a frigate, I would not want to do this.

    A-d-v-e-n-t-u-r-e suuure is a funny way to spell "self torture guaranteed to end in death".
