I got this link off THT. Some dude built a yacht (if you want to call it that) and he is scheduled to launch it (again) any day now. Good entertainment.

***UPDATE 06/01*****

Looks like they got this boat relaunched and pictures will be posted tonight.

First launch obviously a failure.

Did the sponsons work?

I picked up the link off CSR a week or so ago. What a saga. Re-launch day is Monday. Should be interesting.

Thank you for posting the link. I have to show this to our two naval architects at work, they will be in tears.

Wow...I would have loved to be a fly on the wall inside the boat when it almost listed over on the initial launch. That is just plain stupid...and downright ugly.
