It may float. But sail? I don't see any sails, so how can it sail?

It's made by a Dutch builder, so it'll probably be fine. If the Amish had made it, it would probably be capable of sailing to the moon.

Awesome. It costed only $5 mill to build. I bet there would be some crazy/smart people (depending on the weather) that would pay a handsome sum to take a cruise on that thing.

Gotta admire the dedication of the guy who built it. Yes, he's got a young earth view, but wow! Hopefully some savvy engineers have certified its safety. It doesn't look terribly stable.

Only cost $5 million?

Ken Ham's ark cost about $112 million. I guess the extra $107 million was the cost of the dinosaurs on Ken Ham's ark.
You'd think that for $112 million, it would float.
