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."
Berthier has taken the boat across the English Channel to London and has toured it around Europe , getting plenty of offers of assistance from unwitting good Samaritans, who would presumably be either very annoyed or rather bemused by the contraption.
The designer and artist designed and built the floating installation in 2007. He named his creation Love Love.

Half attention whore, half awesome!
The boat is sinking, but still functional … YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN THAT
thank you for the history lesson, gentlemen.
that's so very much awesome =)
but i'd like to know what the inside looks like… i mean, if he travelled over distances it must have a bed and stuff .-.
this boat…. this is the the boat
I'm only curious how the hell it passed registration.
"You made a boat that anyone would think is sinking, and emergency personnel will constantly be falsely alarmed about?"
"Sounds good to me, here's your registration."
What a dum ass….art is in the eyes for the believer….I guess…
Designed? Notice that the water line mark does not actually line up with the water line. It's tilted. Looks like the guy just made a guess at the right angle and cut. Cute idea but a kludge.
oh my, i hate him already.
CHIVE ON!
