According to local legend, the name "Seven Sisters" springs from the star cluster known as the Pleiades in the Taurus constellation - a location some will recognize as the alleged home to one or more extra-terrestrial species. Kardos believes the builder may have received the blueprints telepathically, and that the boat's design may have been given to help us survive a post-apocalyptic Earth. Says Kardos: "A family to go out at sea and, if there were a lot of boats like this in the future, like one per family, to live at sea for a prolonged time if land was contaminated." All he is looking do for the moment, however, is rent out the boat when he's not using it.
