This might be Robert Perry's most unusual sailboat design - the 39-foot container boat! Check it out. Canadian Ken and I explore a truly unique cruising sailboat, an incredible feat of engineering designed to fit perfectly into a 40-foot shipping container. This clever container design allows owners to ship their boat anywhere, making global sailing dreams more accessible without ocean passages. It's a fascinating look at how innovation in boat building can impact housing and travel, showcasing a creative use of space beyond traditional storage container concepts.
