Can't think of many things worse than a Ferrari. It's magnetic to cops and criminals, costs a fortune to service and insure, and there's nowhere to drive it to anywhere near its full capacity (not that I'd want to).
A large, solar catamaran would be my preference. Something that just runs on sunlight, and takes the family anywhere in the world, even if the trip takes weeks. Starlink on the roof. Trawling for fresh squid in the evening.
A small flotilla would be great. Other families doing the same thing, so we're not out there alone.
I have little interest in cars as anything other than transport, so I never even looked at Ferraris that way. 🤣
A flotilla brings to mind Waterworld. Are catermarans better at weathering storms than single hull boats or worse? That would be my main concern with living on the ocean.
Catamarans are generally more expensive to buy and maintain. Getting them out of the water for maintenance is harder, and finding berths at marinas considering how wide they are.
They're more stable on the water for the most part, and have more space. They also go a bit faster. Stabiliser tech is getting better for monohulls, which is eating up that stability advantage, but then solar is giving catamarans better propulsion options, including full solar.
I can see solar cats really getting popular over the next 5 years or so.
I'm not interested in weathering storms. Around the equator is very calm pretty much all the time, so that's where you'd find me :)
I didn't know that. Sounds nice, but also hot
