This is a groundbreaking, technical analysis of yacht design, linked tothetheory and testing of how a sailing yacht behaves underway. It iscutting edge - the author (a world expert in the field) has drawn hisconclusions from years of research, analytical testing in wind tunnelsand tanks, and his results represent the state of the art inperformance prediction whichunderlies all modern yacht design.

State of the art and with a revolutionary modern approach, Aero-hydrodynamics and the Performance of Sailing Yachts providesa systematic and completely up to date analysis, complete with colourphotographs and diagrams throughout. An essential, and long awaited,work for all professional yacht designers, racing sailors and studentsof yacht design.
