here is a boat for you.

Hatfield's boat -- "the safest boat in the world" -- is an impressive example of a single-handed craft.

It boasts 1,700 square feet of sail, a double rudder, two daggerboards, and a canting keel that can be angled to one side or the other in heavy winds. Extending the keel to a 35-degree angle is the equivalent of having 16 sailors hiking out on the rail. Extending it to 45 degrees will roll the boat back upright if it flips.

world alone.

the newspaper - i'll try and scan it and
post it.
