Considerations about the design of a sailboat
Although the borders of different hull concepts are not always clear, the main governing parameters when designing a sailboat in terms of performance are: Keelboats…
Performance aspects at different points of sailing
The forces and moments affecting a sailing boat vary a lot depending on points of sail, but also on wind strength and waves. The same…
