Lars Modin Design II

WOW!!!

Very Nice Lars!

Ditto

Don't see how LC could not like this one. What really make this really special is the observation tower. WE HAVE A WINNER HERE!

The hand in the top of the boat

and the detail of the sun deck in the aft were very nice and obviously the yellow submarine

the tower (crown)

could be a lift integrated in the pilot deck and when the yacht was in port could go to high position to every body see, in such way when in high across the 7 seas the high could be regulated by a computer to best suit the stability of the ship.

The perfect yacht

Me Likey! lol,

I am stunned actually because that is what i had envisioned all along as the perfect yacht for myself, still elegant, a bit artsy or as you put it designer yachts, and functional as well.

The blue one is my favorite, I like the icy slivery blue against the blue tint of the windows, with some stainless railings put up on the decks after the toys are stowed it would be sleek!

I showed my broker friend, he liked it alot too, of course his Question was how much do you think it would cost to build? My answer was same as your's, more then most 50meter yachts. I though would like to get a "guess-te-mate" of what something like this would put me back, because if it is possible I may quite looking at what is out there now and concentrate more in building this.

I am though into very high end audio/video and techie stuff so keep that in mind, I would probably have a outdoor theater on the top deck at port when the sailboat is launched and tied up beside., That expansive deck would be perfect for deck chairs spread out, a screen lowers from the soffit overhang of the deck above and it is "raft in" at the movies for all the yachties in the basin. BYOP of course

My mind reels at the possibilities actually, I do like the idea of the moving eye in the sky that was suggested, but wouldn't that just be absurdly expensive and prone to trouble?

I was wondering about the origin of your AMG username

classical lines

For me one of the best MercedeS designs is the MERCEDES PAGODE this type of lines is infinite the people going and they come and there it is he still look for us it sounds to Mozart, Bach, Beatles, Vivaldi, Beethoven (1770-1827).

Very nice boat !!
Could be cool with a SLK canopy top too..
Or as a Venetian Maybach Styled Limo...

Very elegant design; i'm having a bit of a problem with the front half of the window though, but i wouldn't know a solution either for it; it has to do with vertical lines and angled ones (bit of a translation problem here as well)

Simply amazing! You've achieved a modern, yet retro design with a touch of classic AND contemporary elegance. Very Nice Lars.

Fish

The windows make me to remind the holes of a fish through where water is filtered.
The chestnut tree (Deck) makes me to remind a very independent spirit and simultaneously Bach and " coffee cantata " BMV 211 ...

The light on the bow makes to remind the zoom of the yellow submarine

I may have spent too much time around hotrods, but I'd be tempted to move the helm/windshield aft a bit. Boy Lars, for a "2-D" drawing you sure came up with some sweet shading on the hull modeling!

Humm, 4 colors in one gradient! With Corel Draw I am limited to 2 colors. At least both colors can be any mix, plus I can set the "mid point" (gradient profile) where I want. And radial gradients are possible. But to cover 4 colors I would have to break the area into 2 separate fills. Which is doable, just more work.

Windshield's add alot of character to a design and provide function as well, but in South Florida... windscreens are the equivilent of driving a car WITHOUT air conditioning. I understand the climate is different in other parts of the world and windcreeens add protection against the elements, i.e. cold air or rain, but... very few windscreens provide sufficient openings for good fresh air flow.

Express cruisers are among the most popular boats around. Sometimes, it appears that people buy them just because of their sporty looks, because they have a large amount of un-used deck space... and again, very little fresh air flow over the cockpit area. If they do have a windscreen with an opening, it's often not large enough to flush a mosquito out of the cockpit at 40 knots.

So here's an idea... why not make the front window flip forward to allow full fresh air flow.... and then be able to rotate another 180 degrees backwards, creating a visor/sun shade over the driver and passenger?

I'm not critiquing your design Lars. I LOVE this boat. But when I look at large runabouts and express cruiser types, the first thing that comes to mind is... this thing's going to be a sauna.
