AERO-HYDRODYNAMICS AND THE PERFORMANCE OF SAILING YACHTS

Descripción

This book presents a systematic analysis of the basic factor governing the behaviour of a yacht under sail. Using simple mathematics and illustrating his findings with tables, graphs and help ful colour photographs, Fossati examines the principles of fluid dynamics applied to sailing yachts, and the main aerodynamic and hydrodynamic aspects that determine their behaviour under way.
