Till,
Apparently you missed my post where I mentioned what previous test have
shown in reqards to the stability of at sea and one of its uncanny traits. I
have already addressed what you have mentioned above. The ark didn't need a
rudder. Actual test have already shown its stability and the problems you
have brought up were also addressed in those test when the verdict came out
showing the ard very seaworthy. And that came from several test, not one,
over the last 400 years. It's a done deal.
