Buying something that will last 10 years instead of buying a home that will last generations. Even more, most likely this people already had a home.

Is like buying a electric car while you have a luxury ICE that works, is a waste of resources. I dont really mind, but dont say you care about the enviroment.

The boat is ~40 years old (per their website).

    Our sailboat is a Yamaha33, a 1982 masthead sloop fiberglass sailboat. - https://100r.co/site/pino.html

Using a diesel motor 40 year old does not sound very enviromentaly friendly.

It's a sailboat. They do most of their transitting under sail not power.

You're trying really hard to be contrary here, but it's not working. Devine is not claiming to be ecologically perfect. They're just trying to be as ecologically efficient as they can while living a life that feels meaningful and rewarding to them.

Nice pivot

How about an Open "sourced" boat design?

while I get and mostly agree with your point, their boat is 40+ years. And may last 40 more if properly maintained.
