Hi Martin
This pic is not a model but it's pretty spectacular nonetheless. The picture is by AFP (Agence France Presse)
 
The caption reads: 
The main wing of Macquarie Innovation shatters as sailors Simon McKeon and Tim Daddo attempt to reclaim the world sailing speed record at Sandy Point, east of Melbourne, 10 December 2005.  The sailors were 30 metres into the 500m course when the wing gave way as they attempted to break the 50 knot mark.  The record is currently held by Irishman Finian Maynard with a speed of 48.7 knots.
