Alexis Dornier designs water vehicle ‘Vedanta speedboat’
Alexis Dornier designs the Vedanta speedboat, a water vehicle that draws parts of its naval design from the 1960s American muscle cars. These influences show up as the elongated, navy-green hull with inflatables, the modernized bucket seats for the passengers, as well as the sharp lines of the cabin’s design and overhead lights. The Indonesia-based architect collaborates with naval architect Tresno Seery of Outborn Watercraft for the Vedanta speedboat.
The design team crafts the water vehicle using regional materials around Indonesia, the place it is produced. It spans 12 meters, can accommodate 12 passengers, and has a marine toilet on board. The shock-absorbing seats allow the passengers to feel less of the vehicle’s shake when it crosses over waves. Since the Vedanta speedboat cruises around Indonesia, known for its warm temperature, there’s also air conditioning inside the cabin.
warm overhead lights and two mini-sunroofs in cabin
For specs buffs, the Vedanta Speedboat designed by architects Alexis Dornier and Tresno Seery of Outborn Watercraft has a top cruising speed of 42 knots. The water vehicle’s fuel tank can carry up to 1,300 liters. In the evening, the pilot uses the integrated night vision to navigate the waters safely. For the other features of the Vedanta Speedboat by Alexis Dornier, there are self-inflated safety jackets for everyone, as well as an onboard sound system.
Just in front of the motor, passengers can use the foldable table to put their objects and food on. It sits between two benches adjacent to each other, which adds extra seating to the 12 cabin chairs. The tops of these benches have bottle-sized steel containers embedded into them, serving as bottle or object holders during the trip. Inside the Vedanta Speedboat by Alexis Dornier, there are warm overhead lights illuminating the space. Then, in the middle of the ceiling, there are two mini-sunroofs to let the air in and for sky views.
