Hey jo how are you going to keep the water out of the container or for
that matter out of your boat?
Or is that container going to be a deck load?



You must have not seen his 'plans' which are more like line drawings.

The fool has the container sitting right on the deck between the masts
causing a negative stability curve when loaded. I suggested he recess it
into the hull until it rested in the bilge but he had some dumb excuse why
it was better way up high where it would capsize the boat if it heeled more
than 30 degrees.

Joe's no engineer for sure.
