</div>This big thing about ships is the amount of capital it takes to keep<br>
something operating at scale... sucking down fuel at rate of a few<br>
pounds per second is fine with 3000 paying customers onboard or a lot of<br>
cargo, but no so awesome for the casual project.<br>

</div>it was actually snow crash, and the point was you could leverage the<br>
North Pacific Subtropical Gyre to make a round trip as opposed to just<br>
ending up in some giant garbage patch in the mid-pacific.<br>
<br>
the operating costs for an aircraft carrier even if your rule out<br>
propulsion are fairly epic, like you could run a reasonable sized space<br>
program instead . the US has 6 carrier battle groups which is retarded<br>
expensive even on the scale of us military expenditures.<br>
<br>
ther are various tall ship sail training programs which probably hew a<br>
little closer to the nb aesthetic, but a sailing vessel is a hole in the<br>
water into which you pour money which is what keeps your's trully feet<br>
planted on dry land.<br>
