The Science of Sailing, Part 5: Sailing Fundamentals, Foils and Foil Sections, Hull Forms, and Australia II

Peter Van Oossanen

4.9/5 (31626 ratings)

Description:This volume is Part 5 of the series The Science of Sailing, which explores the scientific principles underlying sailing and the naval architecture that governs the performance of sailing craft, with particular emphasis on yachts. Unlike other forms of propulsion, sailing craft rely entirely on the wind, making them unique: their design and performance are shaped fundamentally by the laws of fluid dynamics. Both aerodynamics and hydrodynamics—the study of air and water flow around bodies—determine a vessel’s speed potential.Part 5 addresses four major topics. The first explores force and moment equilibrium, along with free moments—the essential basis for calculating sailing craft performance. The second focuses on the lift, drag, and moment characteristics of foils and foil sections such as keels and rudders. The third examines hull design and the performance of various hull forms. The fourth concludes with a personal account of the design of Australia II, the yacht that famously won the America’s Cup in 1983.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
