The Seasteading Institute

You can grow anything on a seastead. But I don’t think rice should be a priority. Better grow pot.

How can this be a “real topic” ??? A ton of rice is around $ 400-500, and there is plenty of it coming from Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, etc,…Why bother grow rice on a seastead ??

To answer: ONE (whatever that is) needs to take it’s (imaginary) “one’s tension leg platform” an stick it up,…If you want to seastead inside the EEZ of ANY nation you got to play by THEIR rules and be a FLOATING […]

Nice find. Not only that u can claim. You can take IMMEDIATE POSSESSION, until paid salvage fees. But, since she is in fact under Cook Island Registry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Lyubov_Orlova, plus a ghost […]

Hi Sparky.
 
I didn’t say that sailsteading is going on already. It is actually not. It could be your english now,…(just joking man). If you are referring to cruising under sail, that’s a different story. And […]

Yeap, it’s all about dollars and sense.
But fuel is available anywhere,….for a price. And in the middle of nowhere,…it will be very expensive. It is hard to judge ”against” or “pro” oil. There is a lot of […]

I think that few years ago I used the term “sailstead” to describe the sailable platform you are talking about, Sparky. It would be illogical NOT TO HAVE sails, on ANY type of seastead, in my oppinion. Wind is […]

Shreddy!!! Where U been?? Well, I got few deliveries in the Gulf,…last one a 70′ BRAND NEW ferryboat to Key West, lots of fun!!!
Drink, eat, smoke, dream, have fun Got a 26′ cabin cruiser laying in Key Largo and […]

Smith, as always, u don’t have a clue how things work “out there”. Leave it to us, the captains, to run boats, ships or seasteads.

WOW. Great post “skipper”. When u get back to the dock u already put the sail down,…??
 

In principle, maybe so. In practice, there is very little enforcement out there because the whole matter now it also involves maritime law. And the maritime law takes precedent in international law. In reality, […]

That’s why the first seasteads should be mobile artificial floating islands. Then, forget about the EEZ bullshit. You are a vessel now and you have the right of passage over any EEZ whenever you want. Keep in mind […]

Hi Jonathan. Welcome aboard.
It is my belief that the seastead (call it rig or module) should be collectively owned rather than individually owned, for the obvious reason that you just mentioned. Then, space can […]

Yeap, there is. Here is one of my designs posted here few years ago.

Part 5 of COLREGS pertains to vessels under way and says nothing about or in no way adresses any circumstances regarding collisions while @ anchor. The standard practice for big ships is that even while @ anchor […]

There is no such rule.
