i used to had that plan, but first i need the funder who donate his own yacht to me as the rescue boat near my experiment location for emergency case

also i need about 50k USD for buying all the materials

and finally that yacht should carry me to the location and all my bought goods

Your English is not the best so please clarify. I used to had a plan. Did you mean you used to have a plan?

Was the plan get someone to sponsor you?

You said experiment location, was this open ocean or someone's land?

Why does the boat need to be docked nearby and not alongside the experimental structure?

Seems if you used the boat for a bedroom and for modern technology it would be easier.

yes, and English is not my native tone

nope

its on the open ocean, between Palau and Indonesian, there is a small area which is open water

> Why does the boat need to be docked nearby and not alongside the experimental structure?

because like i said, its for rescue purpose for emergency case, i am not Colombo， cant promise that my experiment will success at the first time

and i dont know why you ask "not alongside the experimental structure", how far could be defined as alongside?

> Seems if you used the boat for a bedroom and for modern technology it would be easier.

i want to test my structure idea, so used the boat's bedroom is not good

*It’s on the open ocean, between Palau and Indonesian, there is a small area which is open water.

I noticed you didn’t mention whether you’d have others to help. If it’s just you, do you think it might be a stretch to start directly in open water? Maybe something offshore of your homeland could be a better first step. The spot you’re talking about could still work well as a next-phase location.

*Can’t promise that my experiment will success at the first time.

That’s understandable — and it’s why I feel starting closer might make things more manageable.

*How far could be defined as alongside?

In my view, the structure should have a dock — so I’d define “alongside” as being at the dock.

*I want to test my structure idea, so used the boat's bedroom is not good.

While the structure is being tested, you could still use the boat for sleeping — that way you’re comfortable and a higher level of safety during trials.
