His plan of action was to buy a live aboard sailboat and he's been living on one for the past 10 years. He also seems to be an engineer of some type and decided to try and design the ultimate but cheap quasi-house/sailboat that you can live on ($50,000 or something as a DIY kit). The boat is called the "Quidnon" and after a few years work just released a promo video for it the other day:

Kind of an interesting boat in terms of design decisions and look. It looks pretty ugly but has huge indoor room compared to normal boats and looks like it would instantly tip over in the ocean but he says he's tested them in simulation and it works good.

I like the approach, and it would certainly be worthwhile to use for inner waterways and near-coastal travel. Blue water sailing or crossings would not be something I'd consider lightly, but the objectives of minimal maintenance with high reliability and simple operation make for a fantastic alternative to being stuck somewhere with a piece of real estate that could easily wind up forfeit due to jurisdictional insanity.

Nice find.
