The paper presents a novel device, a special buoy, for capturing the energy of sea-waves and the design of its model for conducting test in a towing-tank. The paper also presents the research program and general analyses on selecting the turbine and hull form, systems of anchoring and propulsion. In addition, it includes some chosen results of model tests and numerical calculations. Model of the buoy at the scale of 1:5 was tested in the towing tank for some range of wave height and its frequency and for two value of column length, a few states of ballast and tension of the anchor ropes. Numerical calculations were conducted for the same conditions and additionally for several anchor systems as well.
