Scale 1:10. A modern full hull exhibition model of the fast 'Seacat' cross-channel ferry 'Great Britain' launched in 1990. The model is finished in the parent company colours of Hoverspeed and is complete with a variety of fixtures including stantion rails, anchor gear and communication aerials.

Originally known as the 'Hoverspeed Great Britain' it was built by the Australian company Incat as an ocean-going wavepiecing catamaran and measures 73.6 metres in length by 26.3 metres in the beam. Its main propulsion consists of four steering water-jets powered by four GEC Alstrom Ruston 16RK 270 medium speed deisel engines, which provide a cruising speed of 35 knots and a top speed of 40knots. In June 1990, the 'Hoverspeed Great Britain' was entered for the Hales Trophy, known as the 'Blue Ribband' for the fastest commercial crossing of the Atalantic. It was successful in creating a new eastbound record, previously held by the SS 'United States' for 40 years, in a time of 3 days 7 hours and 54 minutes, travelling at an average speed of 36.6 knots. It later entered service on the Portsmouth-Cherburg run and was later transferred to the regular channel crossings via Dover, Boulogne, Folkstone and Channel Islands. In 2004 it was renamed 'Emeraude GB' and in 2005 was chartered to Aegean Speed Lines in Greece running from Piraeus (Athens) to Folegandros as 'Speedrunner 1'. The unique shape and design of the hull both above and below the water allows it to 'cut' through waves at higher speeds than the more conventional ferry hulls. It is capable of carrying between 431 and 600 passengers including the crew. It subsequently lost the 'Blue Ribband' record in 1998 to the 'Catalonia' owned by the Buquebus Line.
