Calculation template

How does it work?

The calculation requires LWL, Tc, BWL, ∇c, CP, the yacht’s radius of gyration, Kyy, as well as the significant wave height, H1/3, and the modal period of the sea spectrum, T0.

The sea state is modeled by either the Bretschneider (open sea) or JONSWAP (limited fetch) spectra, considering the yacht is sailing in deep water. A custom value of the water density (default is 1026 kg/m3) can also be provided.

The results are calculated for all combinations of:

  • Froude numbers 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40 and 0.45;
  • Angle of wave incidence, μ, 100, 120, 140, 160, and 180 degrees;
  • Radii of gyration , Kyy, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30 times LWL, and the specific radius of gyration provided;
  • Wavelength/ship length ratio, λ / LWL, starting at 0.5, 0.6 till 4.0

Sea state and wave forecasting

The performance of a sailing boat is affected by the presence of surface waves. To understand how the waves influence the boat’s performance, we need first to model the irregular shape of the water surface.

Wave spectral density (calculation)

The performance of a sailing boat is affected by the presence of surface waves. To understand the boat’s behavior under waves, it is necessary first to model the irregular shape of the water surface or sea state. The most common method used for describing the sea state is using the “wave spectral density, “also known as “wave energy spectrum,“

Frictional resistance of the hull (calculation)

The frictional resistance is a force that is generated when the underwater parts of the boat and the water around are in relative movement (the boat moves through the water, or, in other words, the water passes down the boat). Therefore, it is a hydrodynamic force, and as a resistance, it works in the opposite direction to the movement, trying to slow the boat down.
