Won’t a seastead be uncomfortable to live on?
People often ask whether a seastead will bob uncomfortably in the waves. If you’ve been on a cruise ship, you know that unless there is a major storm, the ship has a gentle rolling motion. Our initial platform designs have even less motion than a ship, because they have little cross-section and little flotation at the water-level, so it will actually be quite steady, except in major storms. Our engineers have put a great deal of thought into addressing the issue of livability, andhow a seastead will deal with waves; breakwaters, pillars and doldrums can be used to address many of these issues.
