We are working on a seastead design.

The goal is to design our seastead such that all the parts can pack into a single a High Cube 45 foot container which has:
   width 7.7 ft
   height 8.9 ft
   length 44.6 ft
   max weight:  62,000 lbs  (rated bouyancy at desired waterline is 27,500 lbs and we hope structure is enough under this that humans and their stuff can fit)

Above the water there will be a big equilateral triangle frame, 44.0 feet on a side. 
The triangle frame is also the wall of the living area and will be 7 feet high (floor to ceiling).
It will be enclosed and the whole inside the living area.
Around the whole outside of the wall, except where the dinghy is in the back, will be a 3 foot wide walkway and railing that 
is bolted on and has some diagonal supports from below bracing to the wall (so walkway is 1 food higher than bottom of the wall).
The walkway will have an aluminum grating that would let a wave pass through but you can walk on.
Also two doors on the back side,  one two feet in from left and one two feet in from the right side. 

There are 3 legs/floats/foils/wings/keels that provide the buoyancy, so it is a bit like a trimaran but with a very soft ride.
Each leg/wing will 14.5 feet long and have a NACA 0040 foil shape with 8.5 foot chord except that the last 0.5 feet of
the thinnest part will be cut short, so with foil does not come to a point at the trailing edge and fits within 8.9 feet
hight of container.  But the buoyancy is very close to that of an 8.5 foot chord foil.
Each of the 3 legs will be attached to the underside of the big triangle near one of the 3 points.
The center of the thickest part and going 1.5 feet in all directions from there will be within the area of the triangle,
but within that constraint, each leg will be as close to the point of the triangle as possible.
The legs will go down so that the lower half is in the water.
This makes for a bit of "small waterline area" similar like a small oil platform but one that can move through the water easier because of the foil shape.
It is not an extreme SWATH design as a 1 foot change in water level is about 1/7th of the total buoyancy, so still significant change.
The 3 legs will all be parallel with the blunt or "leading edge of the wing" side facing forward so it is lower drag when moving forward
than a typical cylinder on a semi-submersible platform.  
Each leg will be 50% under the water (so 0.5 * 14.5 feet) and the top 50% out of the water.
On the top half of the front of each leg, so the top half that is out of the water, will be a built in ladder.

The reason for these sizes for the triangle and legs is so they can pack into a container nicely and shipped to 
a shipyard anywhere for assembly.
Imagine the 3 legs end-to-end with thin/trailing-edge of foil up and leading edge down on the right side of the container.
So the right 3.4 feet of the container (width of legs) is used by the 3 legs.
Then the 3 frame/wall sections will be upright (so 7 feet high) next to each other along the left side of the container.  
I am not sure the width of the walls but if they were 10 inches wide then 3 widths is 30 inches and some extra is 3 feet on the left side.
There should still be lots of room in the center of the container for all the other parts.

Connecting the mid points of the walls both at floor and ceiling level will be structural beams that
make another triangle 22 feet on a side.  Then all the remaining spans will be less than 22 feet.
The rest of the floor and ceiling will be small pieces that are bolted in.

On top of the roof there will be solar all over.  With batteries and electric thrusters as the main propulsion system.

There will be 6 RIM drive thrusters of 1.5 foot diameter, one on each side of the 3 legs/wings about 2 feet up from the bottom.
These RIM drives will be all be fixed orientation to provide forward thrust.  It will use differential thrust to turn.
For slow movements in tight areas like harbors it can reverse thrust on one side and forward on the other to turn in place.

There will be a conduit/pipe welded to the back of the trailing edge to take electrical wires down to the thrusters.
There will not be any "through hulls" in the legs.  The legs will also have multiple
airtight compartments each for safety.


Behind the back near the center will be two supports going out and 2 ropes going down to a dinghy.
The dinghy is a 14 foot RIB boat (deflated for shipping) with an electric Yamaha HARMO outboard.  It is sideways against the center of the backside of the living area.
When the seastead is moving forward the dingy is shielded from the wind by the living area.

On the lower part of each leg will be several bolt on heave plates.  These will help dampen the response to waves.

About 25% of the displacement will be for LiPo4 batteries which will be put low in the 3 legs.
Each leg will have its own charge controller and inverter so there is triple redundant power on the seastead.
Also, the thrusters for a leg will get power from that leg's inverter or batteries.  So
the 3 pairs of thrusters will have independent failure modes as far as power.

When the seastead is going to be staying in one place for awhile, we can put down 3 helical mooring screws and give the seastead tension legs 
so it becomes nearly stationary when parked.  Near each corner there will be a pair of helical mooring screws with a motor unit between them.
We only plan to do this in the Caribbean where tides are very small and in protected places where the saves are small,
so pulling down 3 feet will be sufficient to never go slack.


Two seasteads will be able to connect together with a walkway, one behind the other, so that while underway 
people can move between seasteads, enabling a real community.  The two computers for the two seastead will both work thrusters
to minimize the movement of the walkway, particularly when warned that someone will be on it.





The question I want your help with are related to marketing this seastead.

Our marketing plan is to have our own channel where we keep posting videos showing what it is like
to live on and travel around the Caribbean in our seastead.   We will post links to videos to 
the seasteading group on Facebook.  

We will also try to get different youtubers to make videos from channel categories like:
   1) Digital Nomad
   2) Ocean Sailing
   3) Yacht sales
   4) Power Yachts
   5) Trawler Yachts
   6) Liveaboards
   7) Ocean Fishing
   8) Oceanography / Marine Biology
   9) Mariculter / Ocean Farming
  10) Off-grid / sustainable living
  11) Tiny Homes
  12) Libertarian 
  13) Perpetual Traveler
  14) Luxury motor-homes
  15) Ocean conservation
  16) Prepper, emergency preparedness, survival skills, food storage, bug-out strategies, societal collapse, economic breakdowns
  17) Van life
  18) Family adventure outdoors / travel / sailing
  19) Retirement / independence / planning / lifestyle
  20) Tax planning
  21) Real estate islands / ocean front
  22) Crypto traders
  23) Clamping
  24) Eco-adventure

Please make a table that for each of these categories has estimates for:
1) the total viewership 
2) the number in each that could drop $300,000 cash on anything
3) the number in each category that would want to buy if they fully understood the seastead option
4) the number in each category that would actually watch a video if the top 2 channels in each category 
   where to produce a video showing what it was like to live on our seastead.
5) the number in the intersection of the sets for 2, 3, and 4 above

Then sort the table with the highest in 5 first.

Older people are at a higher risk of falling but also have more money to spend on a vessel.
It seems promoting the less risk of falling on a seastead may be a good idea but
it is not yet clear how.

Men tend to dominate mountaineering, deep-sea fishing, and sailing.  Women are dominant in glamping and day hikes. 
The seastead traveling around will have some adventure appeal to mean but we expect the comfort will be 
even better than typical glamping so we think women should like it too.  So we think seasteading can appeal
to the whole family.  What sort of marketing could target this point?

Some dream seastead marketing videos:
  1) Two people are playing billiards and then the camera moves back and we see that they are on a seastead
      with tension leg anchors and there are 1 foot waves in the harbor (so a drone shot).

  2) Someone sitting down, they go outside, across a walkway (which drone camera views from the side so 
     it is clear he is going between seasteads) and then joins some other people in the other seastead for dinner. 

  3) A video showing how easy the system for automatically screwing in the mooring screws for the tension legs is to use.

  4) Someone working on a computer, with a glass of water on his desk, which might or might not have shown some movement.  
     Camera backs out and view shows he is on a seastead in 4 foot chop but it is very steady.

  5) A woman has trouble with her dishwasher.  She gets on her phone and says, "Bob, can you come over and look at my dishwasher?".
      Then camera goes outside and we see another seastead pull up behind, they connect a walkway, and Bob
      comes over to look at the dishwasher.

  6) A seastead in deep water will act like a Fish Aggregating Device (FAD) after a few days.  So video is a couple watching
     a TV of some underwater fish.   Guy says, are you hungry?   Girl says "Yes, I will warm up the oven".  She goes toward
     the oven and the guy goes outside, throws a line in the water then we are back on underwater TV and see a fish bite his
     hook, and then he pulls out a good sized Mahi Mahi, and brings it inside.

  7) A guy is holding the remote and controlling a 2 string kite on the track around the outside/top of the seastead.
     It is pulling the seastead along.  He says, "the AI software to run this should be released soon".

  8) Mom says to son, "Please go get some milk, bread, and eggs.".  Son says sure and grabs the keys by the door, and
     as he opens it only then do we realize they are on the ocean.  He gets in the dinghy, goes to shore, ties up at dock,
     goes into nearby store gets stuff and comes back.

  9) One couple picks up their wine gases and toasts the sunset, then drone moves over to a nearby yacht and we see
     another couple toast the sunset, but as they do a cheese tray slides off the table.  Then drone backs up so
     we can see both the seastead and the bigger, clearly more costly, yacht at the same time.  The yacht is
     tipping around far more in the waves.

  10) Couple pulls up to a small island, puts in the tension legs so they are fixed even in 1 foot waves, then
      they dive in the water and swim to shore.  Drone zooms out and they are the only people on this small island.

  11) Older couple and their grand-kids come to visit.  Jumping off the seastead.  Fishing.  Playing with dinghy.

  12) Pregnant woman is cooking at a stove.  She says, with our old yacht I was always afraid to get pregnant.
      No worries on this one.  Camera backs up and shows how stable the seastead is (either moving or tension leg).

  13) Father and son using a telescope to look up at the moons of Jupiter.  Then camera backs up and pans around
      and there are no city lights anywhere and lots of stars in a very dark sky, then we see they are on a 
      tension leg seastead with 1 foot waves.     

  14) Long form video using kite power along to go between two islands.  To show how you can tack back and forth
      and make progress toward any point.

  15) Time-lapse/Sped-up video of all the seastead parts coming out of a container and being put together and then seastead launched
      and a couple getting on from dingy and going off into the sunset.

  16) Guy watches some cool thing finishing on a 3D printer and takes it off and says, "it is perfect, could never
      get this to work on my old yacht", then camera backs up and you see the seastead then drone flies right by
      each of the 3 tension legs.

  17) Lawyer is talking to a young couple at a table with some papers and half full glasses that are not moving.  
      He says, "Your corporation is in the Cayman Islands and the
      yacht is registered in Panama", and one of the couple says, "we are confident you have it all worked out, thanks".
      They go outside and we see they are on a seastead with tension legs in 1 foot waves.

  18) Underwater camera showing how stabilizers use servo-tab to control large wing with cheap actuator.

  19) Might have 3 or 4 seastead connected together while under-way (need to test and see) could be really cool.

  20) Since when in tension leg mode they don't move, it is easy to have many connected together.  Maybe 8 in a circle.
      Someone says, "oh, we are out of nutmeg", and someone else says, "I have some, will be right back", and we
      follow the second person as they move around to their home and then come back.  Then zoom out and see all 8.

  21) What $X buys you videos.  For whatever the seastead costs show similar priced mono-hull, catamaran, trawler, etc.
      We expect the seastead has more interior room and is less complicated (no sail, ropes, diesel engines, etc).
      And can show how they move, what it is like to cook on them, etc.

  22) Day in the life of a seasteader videos.  Showing whatever they do.  Going to town.  Working.  Catching fish. 
      Checking the weather.  Picking up "anchor".  Setting course on computer.  Whatever.

  23) Engineering explanation of why this SWATHy sort of yacht can be so stable.

  24) Tour of the seastead.  Show rooms, beds, work area, kitchen, systems, inside of legs, separate floatation compartments,  batteries, charge controllers, 
      inverters, solar panels, watermaker, air conditioner, incinerator toilet, Starlink, etc.

  25) Parents tell their two kids, "it is time to go to bed".  Then camera follows the kids out over the walkway into a second seastead.

Any other video ideas or marketing angles we should plan on?
