When Life Imitates Yachts

After a long winter escape on your yacht, Prissypants, you’ve often found yourself wishing everything could be modeled after your beloved luxury liner. Well, it seems that Dutch students Emile Pop and Justin de Boer are your kindred spirits, as the duo took inspiration for their Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS (TBA) from luxury yachts. It was built without B-pillars, has a retractable hard-top that can open or close in just 20 seconds, and floorboards made from teak wood (that’s got yacht written all over it). The Savage boasts a Corvette ZR1 powertrain, Toyo T1R tires, and braking by DBM, using eight- and four-piston monoblocks, gripping 380mm or 355mm discs. No word yet as to whether or not it comes with a Skipper, but we’ve got our fingers crossed for you.

Guitar Heroes

No, this movie doesn’t follow your rise to domination of Guitar Hero: Van Halen (though we hear that might be out next summer). This film is about the electric guitar from the point of view of three rock legends: Jimmy Page, The Edge, and Jack White. Directed by Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth), the documentary follows three generations of rock gods (Page is in his 60’s, The Edge his late 40’s, White his mid-30’s) around for over a year, giving the audience a backstage pass to their individual lives, past and present. The film culminates when all three take to the same Hollywood sound stage for a jam session that includes all three on slide guitars doing Zep’s “In My Time of Dying” and the Band’s classic hit “The Weight.” Incredibly entertaining stuff for the guitar lover and music lover alike (not to detract at all from your “Hot For Teacher” performance, which of course, is entertaining in its own right).

Facedrink: The Social Energy Drink

Facedrink: The Social Energy Drink

Facedrink

Sip on This, Zuckerberg

Certain things take physical energy—piloting your Transparent Canoe, sufficiently stuffing your Meatball Grill Basket, violently writing in your Armed Notebook—but some things take more mental energy. Like figuring out who to defriend today, fulfilling your mayoral Foursquare duties, or trimming your gripe against the cable company into 140 Twitter-friendly characters. Fret not. For Facedrink ($3.00) was created to give you “social energy.” At just three calories, Facedrink contains a blend of natural fruit flavors, taurine and caffeine to give you that extra boost of crash-free energy when you just can’t type one more status update. Is it pretty much the same thing as Five Hour Energy? Sounds like it. Do we smell a Winkelvoss twin production?

Love Me, Yacht Tender

mildly annoying? Finding a good yacht tender—aka a smaller boat used for the transport of supplies, personnel, and/or fun activities, like waterskiing, scuba diving or banana boating (don’t deny it—we’ve seen the Kodak Playsport footage). Anywho, perhaps you’d like to check out the Abarth 695 “Ferrari Tribute” Yacht Tender (TBA) by Sacs Marine. This limited edition, waterjet-propelled RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) was designed by Christian Grande to pay homage to two iconic Italian brands—Ferrari and Abarth, the Italian racing car. The 695 motor yacht tender borrows the Abarth’s carbon look dashboard and upholstery, with matching color stitching, and the sweet silhouette of the Ferrari. The Limited Edition Ferrari Tribute seats three passengers and one crew, measures 10’9” in length, and its 104 hp Weber waterjet means it can hit a maximum speed of 40-plus knots and a cruising speed of 30 knots, with a 10 US gallon (38L) capacity tank. Simply perfect for your upcoming jaunts in the Galapagos.
