    The 125 persons is a bit ficticious, more like 150+ it depends how mant get launched and if they are all successful. you dont always get perfact conditions to launch so half of the liferafts can be out of action, ie fire on one side of the boad. what you thought if the 126th person wanted in you tell them to bugger off, NO. Can you imagine what this thing would be like at sea, the 25 man are bad enough but this thing would be like riding one of those bananas. Im thinking wave pitch like a 2m swell. the smaller rafts will just sit on the waves like a plastic duck in a bath going with the flow. This thing looks 10m long a small boat would be pitching in and out of the water. you could end up with the guys in one half of this thing underneath the other half as if flexes over a way - what a mental idea, but im greatful all the same.
