This site is wild. Such absolute, passionate geekery - it’s beautiful.
The name annoys me endlessly though. I also live on a boat, Microship, which was named without checking domain availability.
For anyone who enjoys endless engineering rabbit holes, I’d highly recommend boat life. It’s quite the ride.
- inasio 6y agoHuh, I just realized Microship is a popular boat name, I was just sailing last week on a 23 foot sailboat also called Microship (Pacific Northwest)
- owenversteeg 6y agoHey, another HN liveaboard! I live on my 10m steel cabin cruiser in the Netherlands that I built myself from a bare hull :) I'll put up some photos if anyone's interested. Where in the world do you liveaboard, and what do you live on, if you don't mind me asking? Any other liveaboards here on HN? We should form a club :) (and I completely agree, microship.com is incredible!)
- kimburgess 6y agoNice! I'm on a rather odd looking ~11m steel power cat in Australia. Currently rebuilding it from the hull with my partner. Built like a tank and a lot of fun to quite literally hack on. I'll eventually get around to putting together an engineering blog for some of the projects, but the domain just points to an instagram account with high level summaries for now: https://ourtinyboat.com https://ourtinyboat.com.
- BlackNitrogen 6y agoYeah, why not, post away.
