Motorboat Art Zipping Up The Sea

A Japanese artist Suzuki Yasuhiro's [J] "Zipper Motorboat" is sailing at Setonai-sea art festival [J].

Tokyo-based modern art creator Suzuki, who made a small prototype in 2004 (Movie), who has been dreaming "to divide the sea by gigantic zipper", made up the ride-able sized boat as a water taxi.

# It is under trial operation without passenger yet, as they are evaluating rollover risk.
