Brazilian sailor and adventurer Amyr KlinkSailor Amyr Klink, the son of a Lebanese father and a Swedish mother, is one of those deep-gazing, clear-thinking men. He combines restlessness and patience in the right doses. Restlessness for developing solutions to all the problems involved in the construction of a polar sailboat and seeking new materials that have not yet been used in the nautical realm. Patience for working hard for about eight years on a project for a boat, Paratii 2, which cost approximately US$ 6 million.

Talks a good tail , but he is a brasilian
written by forrest allen brown, December 09, 2006
HE has not had to deal with then navy wanting to take his boat ,for there own use .

the boating business in Brazil is a no brainier ,

very few marinas have docks

non potable water .

few and far between fuel docks .

foreign boats have to check in at every port they visit, this takes about a day or longer and this is when the locals rob you as the rules are

ALL PERSONS ON BOAT MUST PRESENT YOUR PASSPORTS TO THE POLICE FEDERAL .
visas , boat papers , health papers , dogs shot records , proper paper charts ,( sea map wont do ) no guns , trash tax , marinas charge from $10 to 35 real a day for dingy dock use ,

you must ware long pants , NO SHORTS
button down shirts ,             NO TEE SHIRTS
closed toe shoes ,             Â
  NO FLIP FLOPS
there are 5 different governmental agencies you have to check in to and they will be spread over the city .

most all foreign boats in Brazil have been robed or stolen and there owners deported from Brazil ,
as of this reply sense 1999   ( 13 )  foreign sailors have been killed in Brazil on there boats or with in sight of it . the only persons ever sent to jail for there crime was the ones that killed Sir peter Blake .

some 156 foreign boats have been robed and had to leave the country without some of their navigational equipment and personal items .

17 boats have been taken by the navy Brazil just because they want to ,
others have been stolen by locals and sailed away while the owners are held in jail for 2 or 3 days .

UNLESS THE HAND OF GOD COMES DOWN AND PUSHES YOU TO BRASIL DONT GO BY YOUR OWN BOAT .

I think I remember that name. Klink? Maybe from a TV show. Have to Google it.
Well said forrest allen brown !
written by ch.c., December 09, 2006
And Brazilians still expect to have more visits from foreign boats despite the messy and s**tty situations you explained !!!!

Concerning the Klink's boat, quite amusing that an apparent " simple to build boat" took so many years, 8 years in total, with so many problems and that the next boat will be "even more simple" !!!!

Looks like that in Brazil simple things need a decade to materialize !!!!!

You are all proof that the indians did f**k buffalos..... Yhaw Paw!

All you "hollerin' American Rednecks afflicted with Tourette's syndrome" cackling like a hen that just jumped up on the dinner table doesn't help you gain respect around here... Americaaaans, why don't you all go bungee jumping with the cord tied around your neck.

All I say is that you will keep at your American ghethoes in Brazil, that is why you are so jealous

This man´s avocation provides jobs, furthers efficiency and technology, puts Brazil in the forefront in this area. Has nothing to do with American ghettos. When men with vision and means do projects, everyone benefits. If the writer with the buffalo comment had ever been in Montana he would realize that his indictment is impossible, only words.
Robbie Blond moment

Oh you must be blond!

Are you Brazilian or American now? =/

in your case Robbie... to your IQ (Ignorance Quotient)!
fun fun fun !
written by ch.c., December 10, 2006
1) To : Me !
What Americans gettos in Brazil are you talking about ? The Brazilians favelas, for which you have 600 or so only in Rio ??????? Quite laughable !

2) to : Costinha !
You better check your own IQ. It should be barely high enough just to find a job....as handharvester for Brazilian sugarcane ! When did you stop school ? When aged 8, because you were so clever ? Did you buy PC with money you have stolen or did you steal it ? Because in my view your IQ is not worth a Brazilian minimum wage !!!!
furthermore.....
written by ch.c., December 10, 2006
feel free to check by yourself, but Aerorig Masts is neither a Brazilian invention nor a new invention. There are several manufacturers in France and the USA.....but NONE in Brazil. Therefore Imported technology....as usual !

Sorry Brazilians, but once more you are caressing your navel by believing you invented
something that you did not ! Just once more, you use others inventions and technologies !

The same could be said for your flex fuel car engines...you are so proud of. Not an invention from brazilians at all, but by Volkswagen engineers in Germany !

Sorry for your "apparent" knowledge because it is really only "apparent" !
Idiots always want to appear smarter than they really are. This is why they tell
stupidities to try to hide....how idiots they really are !!!!
And the more you talk.......the more you demonstrate how only "apparent" your
knowledge is !
Or said otherwise, you really are bad magicians !
has any one read the book or all his papers
written by forrest allen brown, December 10, 2006
So now a brasilian ivnented the floating docks and internet acess on boats ??
he was going to sue because he used something he did not order and and it failed and had to repair it ??
why did he not got to Ilihabella and hit up north sail to make his rags for his boat.
also if you look at his boat and Sir peters boat they look very much alike !!! and peters was around a long time before his

Shut your mouth off, use your energy and try to be 10% adventureous like him, then start doing what he did. Come back here after 20 years to tell your tail... if you are still alive!

I really do not care. Make it like him, mr. expert, focus in your business. Rather than to market yourself by critizing others. EOC.

written by forrest allen brown, December 13, 2006
Then why are you so up in arms about any thing that is said about you and yours .

YOU MUST CARE

as it seams to hurt so much to get the negitive response from you

by the way they are all better than his

Lets ride up and have some fun!!
written by your worse nightmare, December 13, 2006
Hey Costinha!! I tell you what... why don't you come up for the weekend … we’ll take a ride up to Toronto and have some real fun with his daughter? She is a typical Swiss little whore and loves to party. She always says, "Daddy is the best French kisser she ever had!! Right ch.c?
Ch.c, can we call you Daddy too?

You know, some people talk, some actually do things. If you were the much you are trying to look like we would all have heard of you already.

Besides, there's no slave labor here. When US corporations want slave labor (so you can buy really cheap things in the US) they go for other countries.
Proposta
written by A brazilian, December 14, 2006
Brasileiros, falemos somente o português e deixemos esses gringos se virarem com tradutores pela rede mundial, se assim quiserem. Assim podemos conversar livremente e comentar as asnices aqui escritas por eles. Esse site não pode ser sério ao permitir coisas como bem exemplificados nesses comentários. Isso não é apenas ofensivo de uma forma inocente, mas sim proposital. O intuito desse site é denegrir a imagem do Brasil e de seu povo, portanto gastar tempo e saliva argumentando é inútil.

Escrevamos somente o português para que outros brasileiros não se iludam ao visitar o site, e deixemo-los na escuridão de sua própria ignorância.
what
written by forrest allen brown, December 14, 2006
when you say there is no slave labor in brasil , setting in frount of your computer .
and i know that the avarage money earned in brasil is $300 reals a month if you can get your boss to pay you at once .

that brasilian is SLAVE if a charcolar wants more money or he will quit the boss fires him as if he gives one then they all will want one THAT IS A SLAVE
the fuel you put in your car is made off the backe of SLAVES making a little more than $80 reals a week ,cutting the cane that is a SLAVE .

and as far as being well hurd of you brasilian
dont know a thing about nothing i have done and it will remain that way as you dont know jack about whom or what i have done and can do
IGNORANCIA in your toung will get you far in brasil .
Corra Forrest, corra!

Seu gringo mentecapto, não percebeu que ninguém está afim de discutir contigo? O típico americano e sua ignorância a respeito do mundo. Além do mais, eu não consigo entender nada do que escreveste, as suas frases não fazem sentido.

My god …do humanity a favor, get your gun and blow yourself off mate, preferably in front of the family to discourage any more reproduction… take the wonder boy with you too!!!
