Scott Hassan was a founder of eGroups, so he exited the dot-com world
with some resources. There was a brief Wired article on what Scott was
working on next, something he called The Hina Project. 10' long
sailboats that sailed by Artificial Intelligence (Linux, 486
machines).

Other than this single mention, which is years old, I cannot find what
has happened to the project, or even similar efforts. I know of the
autonymous 24lb plane that flew across the Atlantic, but is there more
work being done on the AI sailboats? Where can I see the progress?
What happened to Scott's project?
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

it is the "real" Scott.....

* Yahoo! Groups is the former eGroups (and OneList), which was
originally Scott Hassan's FindMail before it was a commerical
enterprise. Larry's brother Carl Page was one of the co-founders,
along with multi-company co-founder (including FindLaw) Martin
Roscheisen and, of course, the man with the original plan Scott.

I was hoping for a more generalized answer about the project and
similar things out there.
