The  Love Love was built to look as if it is  sinking


 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." Decks inside the hull parallel the water line.

Berthier  has taken the boat (or should we say half-a-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.
 
Ha!  I would have named it “Half Wit,” or maybe “Half Ass”   bd
