Falcon E8 - ThirtyC Yacht Design

via www.thirtyc.com

Conceived to deliver style and elegance in an efficient buildable package, it pairs the non-fussy sophistication of clean lines with the unassuming qualities of a modern day classic. A sportscar-inspired low stepped aft facilitates easy boarding, and seating for guests when underway. Reclaimed teak decking runs from the axe bow to the stern, with large interior storage located under the cockpit seating. A customisable console is paired with a fully bespoke exterior paint scheme and a signature interiors package.

Sustainability always sits at the heart of Falcon tenders, and the E8 is no different. It comes equipped with a Vita Power propulsion system, comprising a high-performance electric powertrain that integrates the latest technology with proprietary control software. A choice of two electric propulsion packages is available: 90kW continuous (120 bhp) and 126 kW peak (170 bhp), or 150kW continuous (200 bhp) and 220kW peak (300 bhp). The boat is expected to reach a 20 knot cruising speed with a top speed of 30 knots. In relative terms, this translates to a convenient transfer time from Nice to Monaco of just 25 minutes when cruising at 25 knots.

Charging times are also flexible, with a fast DC charge of 20-80% in just under one hour, and a slow charge of 4-5 hours. Providing an estimated range of 30 nautical miles with a two battery system (63 kWh or 126 kWh), the E8 provides a convenient, classy and silent solution to owners’ tender needs

Strand Craft have built what could arguably be called the Rolls-Royce of light water transport. This distinguished craft is constructed from carbon fiber and epoxy, making it remarkably light for its 16-foot size; combine this with a ferocious 5.7-liter V8-engine capable of 300 bhp and speeds of up to 65 mph, and you get some idea of just how fast it cuts through the waves. With its imposing, 1930s saloon car-esque hull – along with customizable floor panels available in a range of woods and carbons (presumably to match the decor of your incredible super yacht) – this is a real class act.

NASA's New Z-2 Spacesuit

via hypebeast.com

this is NASA’s upcoming Z-2 spacesuit. Dubbed the Z-2 “Technology” prototype, the suit beat out two other mockups, garnering 63% of a public vote – 233,431 votes to be exact – to become the space agency’s primary suit for its astronauts for future trips to the moon and Mars. Primarily intended for greater mobility, the design is the first to incorporate electroluminescence and is marked by a hard composite coating meant to withstand minor impacts and both snags and abrasions. Clocking in at $4.4 million USD, the Z-2 – NASA’s second installment in its Z-series initiative to completely redesign its suits over the next three decades – is expected to begin testing this fall and will directly influence the functionality and aesthetic of the future Z-3.

Crescent CMTS4 Mutlitool Cutters

via coolmaterial.com

With the Crescent CMTS4 you don’t need to worry about taking up a whole drawer of precious real estate in the toolbox with four separate tools because this guy is a jack of all trades. There’s a multipurpose blade for rope, shingles, vinyl and just about anything else you need a general purpose cutter for. What about ducting, siding and gutters? There’s a separate blade for those. Same goes for wire and wire cable. No tool set would be complete without standard pliers that double as wire cutters, so those are there too. And the whole set fits in one convenient holster.

Mercedes Arrow460 Granturismo

via www.acquiremag.com

Debuting at the Monaco Yacht Show, Mercedes unveils the final design of its ARROW460 Granturismo yacht. Built by UK-based Silver Arrows Marine, the boat is a stunning interpretation of the company's current design language that measures 46 feet in length with long and lean lines and a raked roofline like that of a CLS sport sedan. No word on what's powering the boat, but we can imagine it's got enough thrust under the hood to make AMG proud.

If you've always dreamed of cruising the lakes and rivers in something a little more glamorous than a canoe, the Jet Capsule will easily fill that role. And presumably at a price tag that won't leave you bankrupt.

Designed and built in Italy, the craft measures in at just 23 feet long, so month long cruises are out of the question. But that's not to say the small yacht isn't well-equipped. The Jet Capsule can be customized with everything from a compact kitchen, to a private bathroom, to even a dining area that transforms into a bunk that can easily sleep a couple of passengers.
