ELEGANTSUSTAINABILITY 4.5m electric launch This is a 4.5 metre (14.7’) electric launch, inspired by the classic wooden speedboats of the early and mid-twentieth century. However, this is not a speedboat, but rather a boat specifically designed to glide almost silently in rivers, canals, lakes, and other inland waterways. Slowly. The hull has been designed for efficiency and grace. This is a boat that combines state of the art electric propulsion and batteries with timeless looks....

Two designs made over the Christmas holidays. Both designs intended for use on Canals and Inland waterways. Both electric and both made of marine plywood. The first of the two designs is this 6.5 metre (21') electric launch with a small "cuddy" cabin. I will do another post later with the smaller one of the two, a 4.5m electric launch....

Agribuggy 2024 In the summer of 2022 I took on a project that was very different to anything I had done before. Many of my previous projects have been yachts, superyachts and powerboats, so this was definitely a different animal. I worked with McConnel, a UK based agricultural equipment company, which is part of a larger international group, on the design (some of it "styling" if you wish, some of it more conventional design) of what could be described as their flagship product, the Agribuggy....

Mosquito- Pedal electric Tandem Car with suspension. One of the frustrating elements for me in terms of mobility, is that with the advent of electric cars, most manufacturers have concentrated mostly on larger machines. Heavier and more expensive than is necessary in my opinion. Whilst in reality what we should be concentrating on is lighter vehicles that do not need huge and expensive battery packs to provide the perceived or needed range....

Today I went to see the Agribuggy that I designed or more specifically helped design as obviously it is a team project with the folks of McConnel. This is the first agricultural machine I have designed and the first design I see made and exhibited at a show for a little while. It is great to see!

A while ago I designed this Pedal-Electric Quadricycle, a light vehicle somewhere between a bicycle and a small car. It is a single seater with carrying capacity for some shopping and partial wind/rain cover. The cover mostly is there for aerodynamic purposes as in reality the rain protection in a heavy rain would not really work. Built of light materials, possibly using plywood, aluminium and moulded flax fibre with bio epoxy....

Many of the yachts and boats that I have designed over the years are BIG. Or pretty large, depending on what you view to be large. Without exception, none would fit in my garage or on the roof rack of my car. So this one is one design that, if time and opportunity allow, is one that might fit in my garage and perhaps be transported to a local lake or reservoir to sail....

Motor Yacht Continuum is one of my favourite concept projects, perhaps because it seems a combination of being just realistic enough and also that little bit different. It is also fast, which has an appeal, plus it has been designed inside and out. The collection of images that follow are a number of variations on the interior design for some of the main areas....

Fast Catamaran Equinox Fast Yacht. 45M- 50 knots Equinox is a fast motor Catamaran. Jaguar cars used to use an advertising strap-line of Space, Grace and Pace, and in a sense this would suit the equinox 45m very well. Although 45m long, in terms of accommodation, it would be closer to a 60m motor yacht, so plenty of "Space". At 50 knots, with an Adam Younger stepped hull, probably powered through waterjets, we have taken care of the "Pace" side of things....

Fire and Rescue Boat Fire & Rescue Boat Following the last post of a fire and rescue truck, I decided to attempt a fire and rescue boat. In this case I decided to use a fast stepped hull designed by Adam Younger as a basis for this 12M motor boat design. I felt that it would be an interesting hull to use as it has been designed to achieve speeds well in excess of 60 knots....

Fire truck Original Design proposal (I made) Variation in Design Proposals using AI The advent of AI has meant that revisiting older designs and creating a wide range of design proposals is much easier, and fun. These are all concepts, and the AI has misunderstood a number of design features, or has completely reinterpreted others. Some of theme are a little strange, some of them needed some editing, some I have left as it did them, the text becoming somewhat weird in some cases!...
