fugly is the word.
why bother putting a stick on it?
it seems to do ok without, and would look better as a sleek powerboat...
at least a little...

156', 7000 horses , this is a ship not a boat. If you get one Will, I'll help you break it in.

chuckle chuckle....
actually, I have to agree - you'd think that after blowing all that dough they'd have managed to come up with something at least slightly pleasing to the eye....
...still like to see it go blasting past and watch all the onlookers jaws drop though

I like the idea... but the design of the boat itself leaves a little to be desired, at least from an asthetic standpoint. The same concept put into a Dubois styled hull would be far more appealing I'd think.

This patient has the same symptoms I've seen elsewhere. It needs to be a bigger boat to satisfy the needs of both designer and client. But clients want what they want, and ...... She should be a proper tallship to look alright, carry big engines and carry her sails smartly too....As if I know, I'm a stink-potter. Ignore me...just ignore me.
