id like to see this thing punch through anything other than flat water- even then, it doesnt look like a planing hull..at the moment it looks like itl do better as a submarine. nice renders though.

This is definitely cool, and different. I second some of the functionality queries, but as a designer that works with the yacht and marine industry, ALL of your contemporary yachts are nothing if not functional… what IS needed is a breaking out of the cookie cutter design that all boats seem stuck in. The occasional breakout design (Wallypower, EarthRace, Fearless by Porsche) is applauded, and labeled a “glimpse of the future” only to have the future look like the past. We need to encourage different thinking in this arena, not discourage it.

Kudos to Charles for pushing the envelope a little. I’m sure there’s a naval architect lurking around somewhere that could provide the necessary tweaks.

hydroplanes, tunnel cats…no keels there. I think of keels as in cast iron or lead fins on sailboats, so color me old fashioned (used to design boats).

I would also agree that without a windshield, this thing would be dreadful to drive.

All types of boats have keels, even if it just be a hard corner. The chines are the extra kinks that powerboats tend to have between the keel and the side of the boat.

the thing about “concept” is that you need (should) know SOMETHING about the item or its just a waste of time. For this one to utilize the compound curves its showing would require some intersting stuff under water. The aft end is pretty bad. There is no reason not to dream but come on try to learn abit about your subject first.

Well, I like the sun shad a lot, but the rear is kinda odd, indeed. Good overall, though.

Two thumbs up for the comment on conceptual design philosophy. I can honestly say I know the feeling.

Not really feelin’ this one. The two-tone scheme is abrupt, and doesn’t flow the way it could. At least that back part. They look like they would fall apart when the vessel started moving.
