Greetings,
Thomas has provided a complete set of "stills" A4702 still images that are a combination of the videos he has created as well as the schematics of the levels within the A4702. I thought you might enjoy seeing this compilation as they set the stage for the construction which as already begun.
We've been thinking about the exterior covering of the A4702. It could be painted, left "polished" aluminum or have a vinyl skin (not unlike how they wrap truck bodies - can be quite colorful). We've been thinking of a deep blue vinyl wrap (not unlike the videos and pics to date), but there's a concern about heat in the Med and that area of the world in the summer. Recently at the boat show, BoatWork, in Southampton we saw some aluminum boats that were left aluminum and others with aluminum and a partial colorful wrap. It was intriguing and we all seemed to like that direction.
We're also starting to think about a name. Any ideas? Brent (my son) did an AI search that ended up with Sol Mate. I did another search and came up with a host of other possibilities...one of which was Sol Odyssey [or Sol Odyssea- perhaps too clever]. I liked 'Tortuga' given the hybrid nature of the boat as well as the solar panels on the roof looking similar to the shell of a turtle -- but consensus was that it sounded "slow." Regardless, we would love to hear some name ideas if you've got any.
Best,
Mike and Marilyn
