Expandable Miniature Yachts

The Fines Foldable Multi-Hull Boat Increases its Deck Space Off-Shore

— November 8, 2013 — Autos
There are certainly advantage to having a small yacht -- when you're in the marina. When it comes to cruising around on the water, however, you might be wishing you had more space to work with. The Fines Foldable Multi-Hull Boat is a brilliant concept motorboat that can actually increase its deck space on demand.

Squeeze out of your tight slip at the wharf and feel free to bring quite a few passengers. The moment that the bay opens up, you can send the wing-like sides of this watercraft outwards to double its area. Julian Pröll's clever vessel becomes a bit of a private island off the ocean's coastline. The Fines Foldable Multi-Hull Boat lets you and your companions spread out to lounge around and sunbathe with plenty of deck to share around.
Trend Themes
1. Foldable Watercraft - The Fines Foldable Multi-Hull Boat introduces the concept of a motorboat that can increase its deck space on demand.
2. Expanding Boat Decks - The wing-like sides of the Fines Foldable Multi-Hull Boat can be extended to double its area, providing more space for passengers.
3. Maximizing Watercraft Space - The Fines Foldable Multi-Hull Boat allows individuals and their companions to spread out and enjoy ample deck space for lounging and sunbathing.
Industry Implications
1. Marine Transportation - The foldable watercraft trend presents an opportunity for the marine transportation industry to offer innovative and space-maximizing vessels to customers.
2. Leisure and Recreation - The expanding boat deck trend can disrupt the leisure and recreation industry by providing boat owners with the ability to easily create larger deck spaces for enhanced comfort and enjoyment.
3. Hospitality and Tourism - The concept of maximizing watercraft space can be applied in the hospitality and tourism industry, offering unique experiences such as private island-like boat trips for guests.
