Why don't Europeans just sail up and down their many canals and rivers and other waterways? Wind power is free and you can carry quite a bit even on a small boat. Heck they could even created sail-powered public transport. Even cleaner and greener than electric trains created with solar and wind power.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubDMvXF-LSU
Rapeseed oil is 1€ per liter. Buy a old diesel. You just need to add diesel to start in winters
>>543599474>>543599474ive been seriously considering buying a sail boat and sailing it around the caribbean. i need to learn how to make sushi first. would any anons like to be my first mate? picrel seems like a good deal
>>543599766We're in a trade war with them. We sell to you in Europe but I'm not sure we're shipping any south to the USA this year with agreement between Winnipeg and Paris earlier. They will have to provide their own.
>>543600127$1500? Sounds like a project!
>>543600205they grow shitloads of canola in north dakota
>the leaf thinks diesel will be impossible to get in the USATrump's banning exports, leafland will have difficulty with their ICE ROAD TRUCKERS lel.
>>543600127You'll want at least 32 feet if your doing open water and a spare anchor. Plus rope and water. Don't sail during bad weather or you die.Take a course to learn how to handle boat one manned as well as chart reading. And they are super fun.
>>543600307A car eats rapeseed oil faster than people could eat it for calories. The USA has an enormous population of 430 million people and your not the first guy suggesting it right now. Your own population will learn you're either able to run your cars or feed yourselves.
>>543600512Fuel shouldn't be food. Use tallow and butter instead
>>543600280i like this one better >>543600335how much does a class cost? i was going to watch a bunch of youtube videos about saling.
Sailing is expensive and dangerous (statistically speaking). That being said its fun as fuck. You will feel like you are fucking flying in a little boat like that
>>543600127That boat is trash you can't afford your idea
>>543600127I have my captains license and about $300k saved up. Lets do this
>>543600716I have had a Sunfish since I was a kid. It's a slightly modern one, fiberglass instead of wood, lighter mast, etc. I can get that sucker going so fast that I have to lean all the way back and hold onto the sheet and tiller for dear life. I have flipped it many many times. It's so much fun. Motorboats just don't give you that feeling.
>>543599474Europeans aren't retarded, 80% of the vehicles sold there in the last 5 years were EVs. They aren't even hurting. Gas was already $5+ a gallon over there though. Or should I say "petrol" was over 5 pound per "litre" lmao
>>543600992>Europeans aren't retarded, 80% of the vehicles sold there in the last 5 years were EVs. They aren't even hurting.Are you retarded? Their energy costs are sky high, they decommissioned a bunch of nuclear plants, and their cheap Russian oil that was supposed to fuel the European century boom is no longer coming.The electric cars cost as much per mile to charge up as gas or diesel cars, and as the energy crunch continues, they will all track thusly too.
>>543599474>Am i a joke to you?
>>543601376SAILING IS FAR TOO HUWHITE FOR THE ISLAMIC CALIPHATE OF YUROPISTAN

>>543601817It's the jews, not the americans. The same jews your females and homosexual leaders work for.The Jews hate us all, it's biblical.
>>543599474You can't sail in a canal; you have to take out the mast in order to have a loicense to use the canal.
>>543601709These days they make a carbon fiber Sunfish, the thing weighs like a third as much as my boat, which was about a third lighter than the oldest wooden ones. But it's like $40,000 and the one I have gets going quite fast enough already thanks very much!
>>543600127>atomic 4 gasoline inboard 50 year old engine just don't>>543600663>center cockpitalso don't start with this. keep in mind there is a saying "nothing as expensive as a cheap boat"
