On the water
Calm, at speed.
An electric dayboat concept — a clean, minimal-surface runabout with a teak deck, hidden volumes and a solar-assisted aft deck. A study in calm proportions carried by a single, continuous sheerline.
Emma is an electric dayboat — a quiet, minimal runabout designed around restraint. Most of the engineering disappears into the volume: the hull reads as a single taut surface, the teak deck flows uninterrupted, and the cockpit sits low and open. The aft deck carries solar panels that top up the batteries while she's moored.
The whole exercise was about proportion and surface quality — keeping the sheerline continuous from bow to transom, and letting the wood, the white topsides and the dark glass do the talking. No clutter, no superfluous lines.
A personal IDMR concept, taken from surfacing through to final imagery in-house.
The hull and superstructure were modelled in Rhinoceros 8, working the surfaces until the highlights ran clean across the topsides. Imagery was produced in Light Tracer, then finished as a Photoshop photomontage — dropping the boat into sky and sea, and balancing the light.
