dunefreak Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Check this thing out. My uncle sent this to me in an email.... Can you believe this guy? I'll bet he's turned many an eye while passing other boaters. The Love Love was built to look as if it is sinking 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." Berthier has taken the boat (or should I say half-a-boat) across the English Channel to London and has toured it around Europe , getting plenty of offers of assistance from unwitting good Samaritans, who would presumably be either very annoyed or rather bemused by the contraption. The designer and artist designed and built the floating installation in 2007. He named his creation Love Love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
