A really cool yacht
on: October 17, 2013, 04:34:53 pm
It's like some kind of future yacht. I love the aesthetics of it, kind of reminds me of an alien spaceship.

Looks fine, but needs more sails. Engines are for landlubbers, gimme a two-masted topsail schooner anytime. :)

I wonder how the sails could be integrated into the design of the boat? It actually could look really cool with sails.

Indeed. Computer-optimized sails would probably also look like from another planet, fitting the boat really well. Also, it'd be much more ecological, not to mention cheaper to operate. I think that the real "future drive" for naval vessels are sails. :) The tall ships will have their last laugh yet.

makes me want to buy a refurbished ww2 torpedo bomber, just so i could sink it.

haven't clicked the link but I bet it's the Zaha Hadid one. Please keep in mind there is a big difference between her conceptual sketch and the actual designed boats that have that as an inspiration. The latter are a real let down.

Cool. Looks like she was inspired by the 3D printed shapes that are popular these days.

That's just inanely ridiculous. Zaha has her own aesthetics since long before you and I were born to this world.

It looks a little like the Angelwing from Nexus: Jupiter Incident

I like it, and I've sure I've heard arguments before that using curves in the superstructure of a boat like that means it fares better in collisions etc because it flexes under impact instead of relying on rigidity alone.
