The sides are cut open in irregular windows, and through them shows a cargo of teal acrylic slats packed upright along its length. A raised bar on short posts stands over the middle of the hull, and toward one end five oars, each a bent shaft ending in a flat blade, hang down over the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Weathered Long Hull With Teal Cargo\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength changes what a boat says: at this size it reads as a real vessel, and the details that make it believable are the ones that are kept. The rail is rough and textured, like old timber or corroded iron, the raised bar and the oars hung over the side make it a boat that has been worked, and the windows are cut irregular, as if the sides had worn away to show what the boat carries. Inside, the teal slats are clean and bright, and that contrast between the worn hull and the glowing cargo is the whole piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt needs a long surface of its own, a full-length sideboard or a console, where it is seen broadside so the windows line up along its length. Light from above or behind turns the teal cargo luminous against the dark hull. Allow clear space at both ends for the upswept bow and stern, and keep the wall behind it plain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePatina, Cargo and a Long Crate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrdinarily a standard piece needs 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. The hull can be finished in another patina, a rust, a black or a tone of antiqued gold, and the cargo can be green, amber, blue or clear; the oars and the raised bar can be left off for a plainer boat. Without the oars the hull reads more as a vessel and less as a working boat. One long crate carries it, and the boat is always lifted from beneath the hull, never by an oar, the raised bar or either pointed end. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA weathered brown hull with five oars over its side and a teal cargo showing through its windows is moored among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e71cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeathered Metal and Teal Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54209058111835,"sku":"H344","price":13968.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H344.jpg?v=1791990899","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/weathered-brown-and-teal-long-boat-metal-and-acrylic-sculpture-200cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
