WaveScalpel 1:50 on the river

According to the 3D data a 1:50 model has been made via 3D print. The test on the river proved the fast hull design, which made very little waves. Additionaly the model handled even “rough sea” with short 10cm waves (5m in full scale) very well.

The full model had to be tuned. To get a realistic weight, the roof had to be chopped off. The model was equivalent to WaveScalpel weighing 24 tons, what means 4 tons above nominal weight!!
