We spent a week-long vacation in this charming houseboat on Dal Lake. Boats here were typically rustic with intricate woodwork and aristocratic charisma. Cut to the present times, old-world charm no longer exists and mean-machines with high-tech booty are in. And why not! Moving ahead with times is a good thing, especially if it means adding luxury and efficiency to the deal.

It's always good to think critically and not just blindly adore designs based on looks. My thoughts are: Solid sail -- that's a sound and proven concept. These sails work like wings and rely solely on the (sideways) lift generated by air passing them rather than "catching air" like a bag. Modern fabric sails actually also do just that. Looking at other working solid sail boats, the size of the seems smallish but feasible. Solar panels -- indeed, even covering every bit of that boat in solar panels wouldn't amount to more than is enough to run maybe the onboard electrical equipment and lighting. Boats running on solar power are build lighter and with more exposed surfaces than this one, and sail very slowly. Side fins -- apart from generating lots of drag for a boat that already isn't going to be that fast (assuming the engines are used to the minimum necessary, as the vision states), I don't see what they are good for. Seems to be there mostly for looks. Flying - if that's not just a styling-related metaphor, then flying seems out of the question. For that purpose, far larger wings and a truly aerodynamic plane-like fuselage is required. Not to mention some serious motors to propell it to 120 knots or so... Sound words, Chris.
