French artist Julien Berthier has designed a fully functional boat to look as if it is sinking. The 6.5m (21ft) yacht was cut in half with a new keel and motor added so it remains in the sinking position while being fully functional. He describes it as “the permanent and mobile image of a wrecked ship that has become a functional and safe leisure object."

Leave it to the French. Wonder if he'll be charged for all the rescue calls? That's just wrong!
 
Fully functional? In which way, s'il vous plait? Can't sail it. Motoring, if you can call it that, seems to be iffy. Sitting in the thing seems awkward. No way you can spend some quality time aboard. So maybe it's art. Perhaps I don't quite understand art...
 
Kind of like painting your jet with flames coming out of the engines. Just not the kind of thing you want folks to misunderstand. For this reason, I did not name my boat "Mayday."
 
Art? Maybe so but I think it's just plain stupid...

This is a tragedy waiting to happen there will be so many calls for help it will be like the boy who cried wolf. The problem is someone else live may be but in danger as a result. Not very cool in my opinion.
