    The 2020-build "Shockwave" is for sale it appears. The Delta 88 is a very good looking boat inside and out.

    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;

    Wow, you are a busy guy Lars: Now designing airplanes?
    As far as your Delta 29 Open boat:
    The underbody somehow looks like an Axopar?
    (I know, Finnish company, Polish build, but your design?)
    I almost bought one in Fort Lauderdale 2017, great deal on a new Axopar 28' with a single Merc 300. Ended up with an Albin 28TE with a single Yanmar 6LP instead, also 300 hp.

    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...;)

    Yes interesting development, electric airplanes are coming real soon: WF, a Norwegian airline are planning a 2026 introduction for electric airplanes, short range for sure, but hopefully it can can work.

    We had a similar company to come and look at doing flights between Jersey and Guernsey using electric planes. Sounds like a no-brainer, huh?

    Sadly the Tech for recharge times made it uneconomic to do so. Nice idea for now.

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

    Hmm, looks a bit "bland" to me, no personality..

    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..?

    Well, the design is not "pretty", but it may be functional, like Form Follows Function. Your other designs have the very contemporary looks of typical Scandinavian vessel/architecture and dare I say, Art?
    With some tweaking maybe this one can be a bit more, uh, sexy?

    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...

    I wouldn't say "bland".... just perhaps too safe, even staid. Not what we usually expect from Lars Modin Design.

    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...

    I agree. Getting the proportions right is key. Many builders try to squeeze another few feet of interior space and end up with a stubby look

    At the risk of having a moderator ban me, I have to side with Dag on this one. The design is traditionally fine, but it’s slightly generic compared to most of the innovative designs Lars has penned over the years.

    I saw a boat at the Palm Beach show that I really liked but the person representing the brand wasn’t very friendly.

    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..!

    Futuristic, almost from another planet, compared to the blue hull:cool: 1ADEE3C0-7678-45B0-A553-762758126126.jpeg
