The project is based in two design spaces; a. the common need of a super light sailboat tender b. a conceptual
exploration of a multi sensory experience of body space and equilibrium. The first is easy to explain and straight forward, the latter a
tad more complicated as it builds on another, rather abstract, design project
that some may find interesting for reasons beyond sailing and messing around
in boats. The tender was conceived, and its appearance is related to the
aesthetics of this project. More information can be found at the PEXU exhibition site under the Creative
Statement as an Adobe.PDF file. This web site is primarily dealing with the design,
construction, fabrication, and testing of the tender as seen on the image on
the left. The tender is featured in the August 2005 issue of Soundings

Note:
Richard L says it would work well, even for motor boaters ;)
