“All I ask is a small ship, and a star to steer her by…” I know, the actual Masefield quote refers to a “tall” ship, but when a tall ship is a tall order and you feel the deep need to set sail, the “Urban Skiff” by Thomas Giger, Anita Meyer, Florian Ueker, Femke Morf & Thomas Etter, just might be your perfect escape plan from the urban jungle. This portable/foldable sail boat comes complete and ready to assemble in a rather suspicious looking body bag duffle bag. Just drag this thing down four flights of stairs, down into the subway, across the park and drop sail faster than Tony Soprano tying up a lose end. With all the “urban lifestyle” concepts floating about, this one just might have (sea) legs.
译文:
口袋里的游艇？！
“我渴望有一艘小小的船，在那璀璨之星的引领下…… ”
我知道，实际上Masefield（译者注：梅斯菲尔德）讲述的是一艘“大船”，然而要去弄来一艘高大的舰艇绝非易事。当你迫切需要起航时，这艘由Thomas Giger, Anita Meyer, Florian Ueker, Femke Morf 以及Thomas Etter共同设计的“都市小舟”恰恰就是你摆脱都市荆棘的最佳选择。这艘便携式/折叠船被安置在一个貌似可疑的行李袋之中，你只需把它从楼梯上拽下来，拖到地铁上，穿过公园，迅速把帆布挂上（要比《黑道家族》中Tony Soprano收尾更快哦）。有了它，在这个"城市生活"观念漂流的时代，你就恍如足下添翼，可以在海上来去自如地穿梭喽！
