I suppose everyone has seen the news videos of the pirates off the Horn of Africa in their 30'+/- open boats w/pretty small outboard powered, and hundreds of miles off shore.
I undersand they operate from larger ships, but they still are pretty gutsy doing what they do in the prevailing conditions.
I also suppose they have nothing to lose and the possible payoff is pretty impressive.
Any thoughts on the seamanship of the pirates?
How about the seakeeping abilities of these little boats?
