Hydrodynamic Analysis on Sailing (6th Report) : Some Data for Initial Design of Sailing Yacht

Abstract

In this 6th report the author shows some useful data for initial design of sailing yacht. The data are as follows; 1) Hydrodynamic derivatives of various type of sailing yacht models. 2) Effects of lead upon steady sailing performance. 3) Helm components in steady sailing condition. 4) On the power to carry sail and resistance-righting-moment ratio.
