Larger waves look like they'd crawl up the sides and spray continuous salt water onto the deck and all that lightweight furniture made of carbon fiber, titanium, teak, and fine corinthian leather. But hey it looks good. (IDK that much about that technology.)

Storage areas are recessed with sharp edges and ladders. Furniture has sharp edges. Steep stairs don't have handrails. I don't think they mentioned lighting or proximity heaters when skimming through the video. The deck is open, flat, with zero wind protection for sitting areas or helm but still lots of dangerous things to trip over. Try playing cards up there hah. What's the point of waking in bed and the window is underwater. It doesn't look very comfortable for relaxing in the high seas.

For that kind of kind of couch change and real estate perhaps there might be room for a garaged runabout or two. Or a hot tub.

The above seems written by someone who has known the motion of not calm seas...often sailing open seas is like trying to walk during an earthquake...a boat designed to injure those foolish enough to sail her in anything but ideal conditions. Need 35 feet (estimated) water depth to avoid grounding. Haven't even thought of the electronics and salt water...Sir Francis Chichester is spinning in his grave.
