You think it will fail before it gets out of cell phone range? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> EPIRB is more like it, and a liferaft or two. BTW: Mast looks like a standard industrial alu extrusion as well?


Seriously, he obviously have got some feedback since he says he dont have a death wish and will do some testing. Hope he tests it hard enough.
Looking at the design, I think living aboard will be a challenge in itself even if it holds together structurally. Flat bottoms, very narrow main hull for use as living quarters, storage etc. A metal boat so it will be very noisy inside.
