Design 5 -- "NOIR" Sensor Platform
June. 2017
This beautiful boat is hand crafted and cut from corning foamular foam via hot wires. This catamaran-style boat is able to sail in the water powered by 2 bilge pumps and can be remotely controlled up to 300ft. Inspired by the luxurious finish of the modern automobile and the sleek design of the shark mouth on the classic air fighters; the surface is meticulously sanded, painted with 5-layer high gloss black paint, and coated with water base sealer to ensure its best performance in the water. The name "NOIR," meaning black in French, perfectly represented the fashion of this boat.
