Why the designs are so successful and the most copied designs in the world.

Boat Testing: BBG Bootsbau Berlin has, for many years, hydrodynamically tested its hulls for drag in a totally enclosed 250 meter long testing facility. BBG tests new hull designs against existing hull designs as well as its competitors' hulls designs at various loads and at various velocities. This is a powerful tool in hull design that goes far beyond computer models and simulations. It is no wonder that BBG Bootsbau Berlin racing shells have racked up such an impressive number of gold medals at Olympic and World Championships events and have been produced some of the most copied hull designs in the world.
