Lars Modin Design V

This is somthing worthy of "T/T Mega Yacht" on its stern! I like the round ports in the first design, but the second one, in my opinion, opens customization possibilities to match a grand yacht as a tender or more as a day and tow boat, something like monte carlo speed boats, perhaps a jet version for the action noise!

Keep it on!

Cheers,

Aestetically i´d prefer the first version with the round portholes (version 2 feels like the straight portholes beeing a contradiction to the nice flow of the deck curve) and I really prefer the rounded aft corners of the windshield.
No need for an "updated" version at all. You should not try to "modernize" a timeless perfect look, it´s like drawing a beard on the Mona Lisa. ;-)

I Would go with the first design.

The second design has some of the looks of a vandutch. Not that that is a bad thing.

But the first design is a bit more retro.

Thanks for all comments, I was going ahead on the modern Mona Lisa anyway and as Alfred is saying, it would be pretty easy to offer a custom design...

Late last night I was playing with lines in my drawing program, and suddenly a pretty cool 125-footer was born...

I guess you feel asleep smiling! Nice reverse bow and great touch adding a port for the anchor instead of having it exposed. The third line draft has nice touches that I like, such as the upward inclined pilot house glass and the blank space aft opening the deck to air, more sea friendly and less "boxy" stern.

As usual, great designs. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

A sexy and modern design - I like it. Am I the only one who sees a Porsche 911 behind these lines? How long does it take to design a concept in your 2D drawing program?

Very unique! You just designed a boat in your own image Lars!

Alfred, I like the upward glass too, but it was a victim of "kill your darlings"...

Milow, the three first profiles took me ten minutes, the last one about an hour.

Carl, thank you, but I don't think I would like to get all the attention of arriving in this yacht...

Actually, if I should build a boat for my needs today, it would look like this:

I know it's not your style old friend. You have far too much class to be seen on that statement. Still, the design is quite unique. I don't recall seeing anything that resembles it, although I've seen some designs that resemble your work.

I'm winding down another JF day. I can't help but wonder how your designs might influence YF's airborne equivalents.

Since you have mentioned it... there was an old thread I have seen where Lars said once free he would give an airborne design a modification shot, he was busy at the time. So now, I think it is a unanimous demand that he tries something up, lets say an opening thread for JF, what do you think?

Cheers,

+1!

And here is a reminder from a 2007 conversation:

Awaiting something of the tasty stuff Lars got us hooked on, but now make us fly! (A bit cheesy... right?!

)

Cheers,

No flying machines yet, just another boat. This time a 64-footer with twin IPS/1200 for 27/35 knots. No plans to build her, just a rendering...

Oh a mixture of classic lines and a modern superstructure... that looks awesome!! You have always interesting and unconventional new ideas, I like that.
