The Wolfson Unit offers scale model towing tank and model basin tests to assess the performance of full-scale motor and sail powered vessels. The models are built to our exacting standards and tested with state-of-the-art dynamometry which ensures that, when the results are scaled up to full scale, they are accurate. Some of the vessels we have performed tests on include:
We can offer a wide range of testing services including force and torque measurement, accelerations and seakeeping analysis, thruster sizing for dynamic positioning craft.
