Wide Water Rafting

I’m no yacht freak, but I this is one of the most amazing boats I’ve ever seen:

The concept is a “moving island.” It’s name is dimensional: 58×38. That’s in meters.

    Well, correction, this is one of the most amazing computer generated boats you’ve ever seen. Let’s see what happens when it’s not just bits and dreams.

    I wonder how propulsion is handled with no visible engines, fuel ports, etc.

    It looks like a villain’s boat from one the Bond flicks. “Good evening, Mr. Bond.”

    Reminds me a bit on the boat “Renovato” in the movie “The Island” by Michael Bay with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson. I find the design impersonal and cold. Doesn’t touch me at all. –Cheers

    Right, Jason. Should have said that.

    And Brett, that was my first thought as well: “This thing needs to be built, just so they can use it as headquarters for an evil genius in a movie.”

    Exactly. He propels it via telekinesis originating from his swelled head. 😉
