I like the WSF alot! It looks so real, by how it's pulling through the water in the slight turn it's doing! Reminds me of a C-Class coming into Horseshoe Bay. Hmmm, maybe I should look into building a C-Class model....something I'll have to consider for my Industrial Design class.

I am not sure what length it should be, but the Mill bay is 21 inches long, the Harbourlynx is 3.5 metres longer than the Mill bay in real life. The model of the lynx should be about 26 inches long.

DIMENSION REAL SCALE FT SCALE CM
LOA 131.2 20.19 61.53
LWL 118.1 18.16 55.35
BEAM 32.8 5.046 15.38
DRAFT 5.25 0.807 2.45
MDS DRAFT 7.9 1.21 3.68
AIR DRAFT 43.6 6.707 20.44
LOA = Length Over All
LWL = Length @ Water Line
MDS Draft= Marine Dampening System Draft
Air Draft = Draft from Waterline to Top of Mast
are these calculations right?

Is that for 1:78 scale? If so, then its not. Just divide by 78 to get feet, and convert to cm by multiplying by 30.48. |

Ok, but what are you talking about? a prototype ferry, what does it mean?
I wonder if it means a new type of ferry, if so, that would be awesome.

A prototype is a model built before the actual thing to test many characteristics...I kind of thought that giant one of the ocean liner you posted was a prototype but I doubt they build them that big.

Maybe a newer design of a Q class or century class type.

Q Class combined with a K Class Almost looks like a bigger version of the John Atlantic Burr to
