In a move surely to aggravate the growing submersible hydrofoil market (here and here), Australian Justin Shoobridge has created the self-proclaimed "first semi-submersible" dubbed the SHARC. The Semi-submersible Hydrodynamic Aquatic Recreational Craft was created out of a need to stay dry while enjoying the water.
His dubious work colleagues watched him set sail in his $5,000 creation after countless hours constructing the plywood and styrofoam vessel. It seemed to stay afloat judging by the photo.
