The Spider Cruiser
12/25/08 - Pretty Cool
“It might look like something out of a James Bond film but this is could be the ocean cruiser of the future. The WAM-V, or Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel, blasts along on two giant inflatable tubes which, according to its designers, let it ‘dance’ with the waves. Powered by twin diesel engines, the spider-like craft can be crewed by just two people as it tackles voyages of up to 5,000 miles. And best of all, designers claim the boat, nicknamed Proteus, is so light that its fuel consumption is ’significantly lower’ than other boats of a similar size.” w/ photos
