This is not a well conceived project.
Without ridiculously expensive structures, the design will break up in heavy seas.
The turtle wings are far, far too thin to bear the loads that will be put on them.
If the power is sufficient for only 5 knots in calm conditions, it will be uncontrollable in bad weather and will only go where the wind blows it.
Aside from the glaring structural issues with the design (I’m sure a naval architect will sort them out on that in the very unlikely that it ever gets to that stage), the site is very shady with simple spelling errors as well as listing companies with their logo that are in no way affiliated with the project in a way that makes it seem like they are already involved and endorse the endeavor.
This comes across as very interested in selling their NFTs , not so much in being sincere, open, or even truthful about the prospects.
As someone who routinely invests in projects with a > 75 percent risk of failure, I would not invest in this project with the intention of ever seeing it completed.
