From prototype to production model (2)
We discovered the design phases of a new model in MW173. Today we’re taking a look at the industrial development process. How is the first model of a multihull manufactured? What are the steps that allow us to go from the construction of the prototype to series production? What techniques do manufacturers use to make their models more reliable? And profitable? We’ll try to tell you everything - or almost everything.

If you are satisfied just taking delivery of your multihull that’s 50 feet long and 22 or 25 feet wide, that’s fine... but you should know that during the few months since you signed your purchase order, each stage of the industrial development, from the prototype to the production boat, has been the subject of par…
