Re: who would like to live in a houseboat?
|
You want more boats? Here you have more boats! At least one more...
Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce Minimoat!
All above the waterline has the shape of a tube, the bow and stern the shape of a sphere. A very special, eventually even an strange design. But there is a reason for this shape.
I thought about which shape fits best under the medieval bridges that spread over many of the French canals. And then I tried to let float this shape - and Minimoat was born.
By the way, Minimoat is not a "mini moat", it's the fusion of "mini" and "boat".
Minimoat is designed to offer 2 + 1 persons as much comfort as possible in this small area. Thanks to its big windows and the rear door made of glass its interior is really bright.
The boat has only two rooms (apart from the storage space): the big open living room and the comfortably bathroom. A double bed is created from the table and the benches and a single bed can be created from the drivers bench.
Minimoat is 8.5m long, 3.5m wide, has a draft of only 0.5m and a height of 2.5m above the waterline. Like all of my boats it has an electric propulsion, but this boat can not generate its own energy. It would be possible to gather some energy with thin-film solar cells, but this would never be enough for a longer autarky.
This time I have absolutely no idea how much a boat like this would cost, but I guess it should be feasible with less than 100'000 Euros.
Ok, this was Minimoat, and now let's find out which boat is next...

- you should see how many idiots are navigating big sea-going boats around here, without a clue as to what they are doing. Even if it is pretty obvious they will (and should) never take their overpriced vessels beyond sheltered waters. Your logic is good, but it is easy to underestimate the vanity of new boatowners... ok
