This is a concept design I did for Boating NZ magazine's Dream Fleet article where a bunch of NZ designers had a go at projecting their toughts 25 years into the future. While I specified all electric drive (perhaps a bit optimistically) and construction using additive manufacturing the design could well be built today from alloy or composite.

That's not something for the far future, imho. This design is very actual.

Thanks. We were given only a week to produce some designs for the magazine so I took my existing 58' hull and streched it to 20m and restyled from the chine up. I tried to avoid going too futuristic in case someone got exited and wanted me to finish the job. Besides, 25 years is not such a long time...
