Andrey Takes His New Dinghy For A Spin.

Oh hell ya, I just press a button and I raise my sails, no freaking winch handles. It's great being a Russian oligarch!

My dinghy is bigger than your dinghy. Nah, nah, nah!

Another toy for the fleet, fucking "A!"

Ugly Ship Of The Day. The US Navy Welcomes A New Ship To The Fleet And It's Stealthy.

The USS Zumwalt, what a beauty! ¡Joder, Coño!

Stealthy!

Homage to Philippe Starck. Sort of....

Wow, not much below the waterline. I wonder how she would maintain stability without her array of sensors, electronics and computer controls? She looks like she would roll and become inverted in heavy seas. But what do I know? Not much, I have a degree in Architecture, not Naval Architecture. But this I do know, she sure is ugly!

Anchors aweigh, my boys!

Damn, That's An Ugly Ship!

The largest cruise ship in the world - three times longer than the height of Big Ben (talk about windage!) - has arrived in Southampton after its maiden voyage.
Harmony, really? Somehow a giant floating box doesn't conjure up the image of harmony in my mind. But that's just me, and what do I know? Not much. 

Ah, yes, cruising the big blue with 6,410 guests and a crew of 2,100. We are all harmoniously humming "om," until we elbow our way for a place next to the pool.

I wonder how long I will have to wait in line to take the launch to shore so I can buy a tee-shirt or a coffee mug that says "Barcelona" on it? Mind you, the ship does have a 10 storey waterslide. That's fantastic!

I can't wait to book my cruise, can you?

Why Designers Should Stay Away From Designing Boats, Ships And Yachts.

Talk about windage!
In the back of my mind, I see a movie with this yacht out at sea in a storm. Up from the deep dark depths emerges a monster from some old sailor's tale who breaks off the curvy superstructure thingy and bites down crushing the terrified caviar eating Russian oligarchs (the targeted clientele).

Let's listen to the marketing spiel from the boy wonder "Designer," Gabriel Teruzzi.

“There are precious examples like the Tower of Babel, the Pyramids in Egypt and today in the magnificent skyscrapers.

“The wish to touch the clouds continues to be present in the most powerful minds.”

Baydog's New Boat?

He does like wieners and beer!

I Love Rowing, But..... (Moving Pictures)

Rowing a SUP? You've got to be kidding me. Two words: Rube Goldberg.

That's just ugly!

Soap Box Dinghy?

I wonder what Robert Perry would think of her?
She reminds me of a raft that I built with my friend Rick back when we were 4 or 5. Boy was that a beauty too.

My New Dinghy?

What a beauty, not!
