Seasickness is a problem with boats, not seasteads.
In 2019, Chad and Nadia conducted the “wine test” on the first seastead, XLII, which is immortalized in the final seconds of The First Seasteaders 3: Lifting the Stead.
In 2020, they passed the wine test again on their triple-spar prototype in Panama, showing off the fact that the wine didn’t ripple in waves as motorboats pass by at 20:00 in this video: Ocean Builders Deep Water Prototype.
Joe Quirk updated it to “the grandpa test,” which they passed 2024 when an elderly man stepped safely onto the seastead in high waves.
