A TANK TEST MODEL FOR A PROPOSED DESIGN OF A 5.5 METER RACING YACHT
Ludders Marine; American ca. 1963
This model, tested by the Stephens Institute was a proposed design for a 5.5 meter yacht. The hull of the model is built up in wood, then interior has been carved hollow, and the exterior of the hull has been shaped, faired, and finished to racing condition. On the leading edge of the bow, down to the bottom of the keel, is covered with a coarse sand which has been glued in place. This sand was used to create a disturbance to the laminar flow so the flow below the waterline could be more easily documented. The exterior of the hull is marked with the number 2682 which is the identification number for the Davidson Lab at the Stephens Institute where the model was tested. These models were built to a scale of 1 ft : 6 ft.
60 x 12½ x 12½ in. (152.5 x 31.8 x 31.8 cm) model dimensions.
