Here at TSI, we’ve been thinking a lot about how to improve our strategy. We recently published a strategy document and a vision timeline, but these are only the beginning, covering things at a very high level.
We also want results sooner. Our current timeline & strategy describe modest achievements — a prototype seastead built, a successful ocean-based business operating — by the end of 2010. We’ve been thinking in recent weeks that we can, and want to, do better. And we’ve heard from you, our community, that you’d love to see tangible results faster.
We’ve started a forum thread describing many of the options we’re looking at for an accelerated strategy. Please take a look, and give us feedback via the survey linked in the thread!
Buying a small cruise ship is something that could be done right away with a loan and/or with commitments from interested parties. The cabins could be rented out immediately, with a regressive rental structure following the ClubStead Master Lease:

I would like to begin to put the project together with the support of TSI, and be considered for the position of manager as described in the lease.
