Tow Tank Testing

The towing tank is 100 ft long and 3 ft wide with a fully instrumented carriage.  Besides carrying out small model tests the towing tank is of great value for our Naval Architecture and ME programs. The tank can accommodate models as long as 65 ft and supports semi-planning and full-planning hulls.  The collected data aids in hull optimization as well as power, speed and trim predictions.
