Wave of the future: The dancing spider-like cruiser that can take 12 people on a 5,000-mile journey
It might look like something out of a James Bond film but this is could be the ocean cruiser of the future.
The WAM-V blasts along on two giant inflatable tubes, which, according to its designers let it 'dance' with the waves
what is a wam-v™?
The WAM-V™ -Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel- is a new class of watercraft based on a patented technology that delivers a radically new seagoing experience. These ultralight flexible catamarans are modularly designed to allow for a variety of applications and to fit the requirements of specific users, missions or projects.
Wave Adaptive
Unlike conventional boats, the hulls of a WAM-V™ conform to the surface of the water. A WAM-V does not push, slap or pierce the waves. She utilizes flexibility to adapt her structure and shape to the water surface. Instead of forcing the water to conform to the hull, she gives and adjusts; she “dances” with the waves.
