Hi, I'm the filmmaker that has been living on board the Seastead. I will be returning early February for a few months as the Seastead moves into a more permanent location in the Saha de Mahla. It is more than 300 miles from any land (200 miles is the exclusive economic zone).
I'm making the documentary to show the Seasteading community that it is far easier than they realised and hopefully inspire many to either join Sam or build their own barge Seasteads.
What conditions must a Seastead fulfil:
- Operate in international waters safely.
- Modular / Ability to grow organically.
- Freedom to move away from the colony.
- Affordable.
A barge fulfils all of these criteria:
- Barges are well tested traversing the worlds oceans.
- There is no limit to the number of barges that can be connected together.
- Modular design means anyone can easily move away.
- A 2nd hand 70m barge costs ~$200,000 (less than the average house price in Europe).
What are your thoughts?
I'm happy to answer any and all questions you may have about this Seastead 🙂
I'm raising money for my documentary to upgrade my gear, get a Netflix approved camera, get under water housing to film underwater and have a small fund if i need to be rescued 300 miles from any land :)
I'm fundraising with geyser: https://geyser.fund/project/floatingcity
And go fund me (where you can watch my trailer): https://www.gofundme.com/manage/the-programmer-building-a-floating-city
Once again, i'm very happy to answer any and all questions.
You support will hopefully encourage many to take the leap and join / start a Seastead.
The time is now!
