Lars Modin Design V

I am not updating here so often, but you can always see a mix of older and newer design concepts in my scrapbook; https://superyacht-design.blogspot.com/

Like this old darling that is now a little updated;

Since I used to fly myself, I am interested in the development of this new generation of composite planes with electric propulsion. Before batteries will get lighter I think a hybrid solution with perhaps a turbine generator is needed to extend the range. I also prefer fixed wings over the drone type with only propellers keeping it in the air...

The Delta 29 has a single stepped hull and Axopars are twin stepped, which I usually don't like, but I have never driven an Axopar. A few years back they contacted me about designing a new Brabus branded boat, but later decided to just make Brabus versions of their existing boats... Perhaps they found out that I was an AMG guy...

What do you think of this? I have made a more traditional deck design on our 50 knot Delta 400 hull...

Thanks, this is interesting, since this was my idea... My first design on this hull. almost 20 years ago, was very different and I still like it, but it is not realistic to sell new builds for three to four times the price of a used one. So I was thinking it could be a good idea to make a design that is more timeless..? Maybe it isn't..?

Last week we had the Stockholm Boat Show and I can not say I found a single boat that I wanted, until I entered the Classic section...

You can expect almost anything from me when it comes to style, but I try to make things with good proportions. This style can of course come with variations in details like the windows, but not things out of proportions...

It is pretty generic, by purpose. The idea was to have a design that you can live with for a long time, and a safe way is then to use lines that have already been used for a long time. Same as we still copy mid century houses, like the Frank Lloyd Wright's in California. Or building cars with retro design. But perhaps our "not so friendly" sales people are dreaming of fancy boats with oversized windows near the waterline and beach clubs at the transom instead...

We will see what happens, but for me discussions like this are the most interesting of all..!
