Spider Ship Builder

Posted on by

Ugo Conti is an old man, which is his excuse for making this thing: he’s at the end of his career and he has nothing to lose if it doesn’t work out.
His concept for a ship is to have flexible legs acting like shock absorbers on small hulls which carry the mass of the ship out of the water, meaning it doesn’t have to go through waves, but slide over them. It can also be used in very shallow water. The prototype is crewed by two and can carry two tonnes of cargo.
