Can this tender scale?

I found some photos of a yacht tender made by Catarina in Brazil. She's good for 38kts w/ a 46ft length.

I was thinking she would make a very striking yacht scaled to 80 or even 100ft. I was wondering if she would scale or if the design would fail at that size?

Quite pretty on first sight
Scaling is perhaps not the best idea: If you double the size, you will increase volume in the third potential. It is a little like doubling engine power and expecting to double the speed. This is how Corrie designs.
Wetted area - ratio of length/beam - target speed, target weight and so many other factors play a role, that it seems better to design a hull of your own and include the design features that you feel happy with.
