A Yacht That Gives That Sinking Feeling 3
cylonlover writes "French artist Julien Berthier has designed a fully functional boat to look as if it is sinking. The 6.5m (21ft) yacht was cut in half, with a new keel and motor added so it remains in the sinking position while being fully functional. He describes it as 'the permanent and mobile image of a wrecked ship that has become a functional and safe leisure object.'"

This would be good for people concerned about piracy. Since the U.S. doesn't care about the issue, a prudent boat owner should disguise his boat as one that is already sinking that way bandits don't try and board it to steal all your women and booze.
Come to think about it, it would also be perfect for domestic pirates too. When someone comes to your aid, you could quickly fire your blunderbuss, and trow over all lines. That way you could steal THEIR wine and women. Best of all worlds.

Solution: whoever sees a sinking yacht goes there and loots it. If it is this one, sinks it too, then posts to slashdot idle the cease alert.
