I'm no boat expert, but buying a 49 year old sailboat wouldn't seem like a good start to this endeavor.

Don't want to waste their life working yet the cucks who donated are probably getting up and going to work tomorrow. Mind blown people actually fund these ventures.

These fuks barely made it past Gators. Bet they killed a few buckets of Buds before they Edward John Smith'd it. They were never gonna make it.

Never underestimate the sheer power of stupidity and the ability of crowd funding to support more of it.
These idiots will be right back in the thick of making a monumental mistake again within a year--and quite probably dead at sea. They have no concept of planning or responsibility. I'm fine with people chasing dreams . . . and they should . . . but these clowns had no idea what they were doing on multiple levels and had no real plan or ability to support themselves from the get go. That's just reckless and the fact that they are playing victims is nuts.
EDIT: And they're now >$11k. Jeezus.

Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie.

It turns out they were not prepared, but at least they tried. We've all faced set backs in life. Sometimes we've had to ask for help to get back on our feet when it turned out we weren't ready, but that didn't mean we were failures. We are only failures when we stop trying.

I can't believe these potatoes had ZERO experience or training and still thought everything would turn out ok.
There are things you can run into at sea that will sink you in a heartbeat even if you have 50+ years of experience. Rogue waves, white squalls, etc. You have to respect the ocean. It plays for keeps. Sometimes it throws something at you that there is no correct response for.
