Model Testing

When performance is critical, such as with high-speed craft, Sterling Marine can model and test various hull types - from simple monohulls to complex multihulls. Utilizing our advanced 3D software and CAM technologies, we can create highly accurate hull models. These models are then tested in the tow tank at the University of New Orleans, which yields performance results specific to the hull design. In a world of increasing construction costs, this is a powerful tool to ensure the best results without incurring the cost of full-scale construction.
