There was a show in the mid 90s called "The Adventures of Sinbad". The vessel in the show was a two masted lanteen rig Dhow called "The Nomad"....
Well, it had been a dream of mine to do it. Thanks for the link.
Has anybody ever done this? Did you have to stop off at other islands to replenish? What was your experience like? :)
Never mind. I find it beyond coincidental that I'm working on a submarine writing project, watched about three or documentaries on submarines,...
Well, I was doing some research for a writing project when I came across this "concept", and I think I got fooled by the CGI "photo" in the...
Okay, so which of you people have been on board one of these things? :) SUBMERGE 150' submersible catamaran on Behance

Thanks everyone, for the replies. Years ago I used to talk to professional freighter and military sailors on merchants, and they always said it...
