Kip Powick Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 French artist Julien Berthier has designed a fully functional boat to look as if it is sinking. The 6.5m (21ft) yacht was cut in half with a new keel and motor added so it remains in the sinking position while being fully functional. He describes it as "the permanent and mobile image of a wrecked ship that has become a functional and safe leisure object."

Kip Powick Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Probably is.... but one again we see another stick- boater who decided to scrap the rags and use an engine.Personally I don't think it was a smart move to design a boat like that...I wonder how many "false" MAY DAYs he originated and how many resources might have been utilized, put in harms way, etc., with other boaters 'thinking' it was an actual sinking.
