Much of the research on hull design is done with model boats in water tanks. Computers can monitor the various ways in which the boat interacts with the water and help designers build prototypes based on the results. The Italians ran scores of tests in a 400-m (437-yd.) tank to fashion the Venezia's hull. America 3's designers did their research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University to come up with a longer, narrow-bowed hull, meant to slice through the choppy seas expected at San Diego...
