I admire the spirit, but really now...come'on. There's not much chance of success on this one. The flat bottom is going to have terrible sea action, the narrow width of that hull has very little room inside, the aluminum is going to be incredibly noisy and COLD, and while I think his truss system on the ama supports seem to be OK, I really question the attachment method to the amas (rather the lack of anything appearing significant).
Ever try holding on to an aluminum beam or mast when it cold? It just sucks the heat right out of your hands very quickly....big heat sink! I guess you could over come this with enough insulation...but the housing is incredibly small (was it 6x8x4?...stated in the second article I listed). So, once you've got your foodstuffs, minimal gear etc (spare sails??), where will you fit reasonable insulation?
I hope he's though about foot traction...alu when wet is very slippery, even with good boots on.
