Stuck in the mud..

If you saw the earlier posts on this thing, here is an update. I guess they are trying to launch this 'boat' in San Francisco bay. It is a very big home-built cat that is made of plywood and paint. Most boats are covered in fiberglass and epoxy or are carbon fiber, but this thing is just plywood. Without the coating, the wood will not last long in the water, the paint gives some protection but it is not the best. Also the 'design' is a little strange, lots of windows on the amas but none on the salon?? Plus it is a schooner rig and has a radar mast in a very bad location. Also, how can you steer the thing from the back??? No visibility to the front from the wheel in the back, do you look through the salon?? Will have to see if it floats for long or ends up half sunk in Richardson Bay with so many other derelict boats.
