Unlock the Science Behind Winning Yacht Designs
Aero-Hydrodynamics and the Performance of Sailing Yachts by Fabio Fossati is a comprehensive technical analysis of yacht design, focusing on the aerodynamic and hydrodynamic principles that influence a sailing yacht's performance. Drawing from years of research and testing in wind tunnels and towing tanks, Fossati presents state-of-the-art insights into performance prediction, which are fundamental to modern yacht design.
Key Features of the Book
- In-depth examination of aerodynamic forces acting on sails and hulls.
- Analysis of hydrodynamic interactions between hulls, keels, and rudders.
- Detailed discussions on performance prediction methods.
- Illustrations with colour photographs, diagrams, and graphs to elucidate complex concepts.
This book serves as an essential resource for professional yacht designers, racing sailors, and students of yacht design, offering a systematic and up-to-date analysis of the factors governing yacht behaviour under sail.
