did you put your prototype on a small boat and test it out in the water?

Not yet. Our first prototype is a bench model without the necessary structure to handle full loads. We're working on the detailed design to get on the water now.

To calculate roll effects of your equipment while under pressure, I would try to make the bench model a digital twin in a stability software like NAPA.
