Six boats for one hull: this is the idea of Kormaran, the luxury “transformers”

At first glance it looks like a Transformers, those science fiction characters who transform from vehicles into robots, and instead it is “only” the idea of a motor boat created for leisure. The Kormaran, that’s its name, seems to be coming straight from the future because the design stipulates that it can change configuration from “navigation mode” to sunbathing platform via “flight mode” and “night mode.” This is a very interesting project that has not been heard from in the past year, but whose potential could have been considerable. Let’s find out the details of this idea together:

When the motor boat switches you from monohull to trimaran in a key

While sailing this motor boat can be a long, tapered monohull reminiscent of a Formula 1 car, a catamaran, a trimaran, and then back to a monohull and take flight with the two foils. So far we already have the characteristics that would need as many as four different boats. None of them, however, seems very comfortable for bathing, and luxury without comfort does not exist.Kormaran at this point is able to become a platform for sunbathing by opening up and substantially enlarging its structure.

The essence of this boat lies precisely in its ability to change shape and transform itself by adapting to needs: the Transformation System allows you to make Kormaran what you want when you want.. The structural parts of the Transformation System are made of carbon fiber and hydraulic cylinders of stainless steel, absorbing all the forces acting on the vessel. Motorization (155 hp, 114 kW each) is in both hulls and can be upgraded with 200 hp (147 kW) or 300 hp (220 kW) Wankel engines, increasing total power from 310 hp to 400 hp or 600 hp.

One meter above the water to feel three meters above the sky

Thanks to the system of two foils and hydrojet, Kormaran rises to a meter above sea level-the idea it conveys and echoed in its name is that of a cormorant flying clear of the water. With this system, friction with water is reduced by 80%, substantially lowering fuel consumption and making it possible to travel great distances in a decidedly sustainable way.
