I doubt you can recoup the cost of the boat, though. I think people will pay. Did you know it costs about 100,000 dollars to climb Everest? They have a waiting list for guided climbs. Few people are foolish enough to try climbing Everest on their own. There are, indeed, lots of rich bored people around these days. Some are already paying millions of dollars a pop for a ride into space and back for a couple days. I figure to sail a hurricane and enjoy the ultimate survival adventure rich people would be willing to pay maybe 20 thousand dollars - for a one week cruise. Let's say six passengers - that makes 120 grand a hurricane, if there are eight reachable hurricanes a season that would be almost a million dollars the first year alone. Of course there will be expenses but two years should be the break-even point for the build barring unforeseen circumstances.
