Imagine if you saw this pulling into the marina! It’s a creation by French artist, Julien Berthier, who designed the boat to appear to be sinking. He calls it ‘Love-love’ and says it is ”the permanent and mobile image of a wrecked ship that has become a functional and safe leisure object”.
When you see it out of the water it all begins to make sense:
One thing’s for sure, it’ll turn a few heads at the marina:
And just in case you don’t believe that it’s a fully functioning boat (I mean, you’d be forgiven!), watch it in action (be sure to watch until about 1.30 to see it motoring along):
Julien has taken it out on the water in Normandy and London (on the Thames by Canary Wharf)… I’m sure it’s a rare occurrence but the next person to see it on the water and send in a photo wins a spot prize!

Where can I buy one?
Not much fun for watersports!
I had the same thought myself Chris… maybe he’ll have cracked it by the time next year’s model comes out!
