We carry out resistance test and oblique towing tank test with a 1/100 scale model of VLMOS for investigating the effect of interaction among the many struts or between lower hull and struts. We also performed an experiment to test the stability of course keeping in which we imitate the wind drag force and sail force by adding external forces. Finally, we demonstrated the navigation performance of the structure with model sails. These results show that the structure has enough performance of the navigation, although the interaction effect due to vortex occurring at the rear part of strut is not negligible.
