Interior Design Of Hydro-Foiling Boat

Abstract: Boats have a rich history, evolving in shape and purpose. From ancient logboats to modern superyachts, their design depends on their intended use. Among personal watercraft, such as yachts and motorboats, there are various types like fishing boats and day cruisers. Runabout boats are popular today for leisure. They are fast, agile, and versatile, originating in the 1920s with wooden bodies. Modern Runabout boats carry 4-8 people, lack a cabin, and are favored by casual boaters.  One of the latest trends within boating is the usage of hydrofoils, a hydrofoil is a wing-like shape that lifts a boat out of the water, reducing drag on the boat. Flighter is a new company intending on creating a new concept for a hydro foiling boat that is meant for transportation. They want a boat that is agile and has some multifunctional aspects allowing it to be used by a wider user group.  The following project is a design project focused on the conceptual interior design of Flighters new boat where the goal is to create an interior that fits with Flighters agenda. The concept developed through the project uses a rail system to create modular seating that allows the user to modify the boat to the current needs. There is also a multifunctional sofa in the back allowing for extra storage and seating if needed.
