Structural analysis of catamaran sailing yacht
Journal of Transportation Science and Technology, 2021In terms of structural design, the analysis of catamaran hull ships in general and catamaran hull sailing yachts in particular is always interested, especially the cross structure and the connection of the two hulls with the cross structure. The application of the hull structure analysis technique by the finite element method is said to be the most ...

Sailing today encompasses many disciplines but is defined as the propulsion of a vehicle and control of its movement with sails, rigging, and a rudder. The first references to sailing have been estimated to originate from Kuwait in 5,000 years BC. Other references have been found in Arabian, Chinese, Indian, and European ancient literature.

Radar Detection of Small Sailing Yachts
2006 International Radar Symposium, 2006Paper describes measurements in the real sea conditions of the maximum radar detection and tracking distances of small sailing yachts without radar reflectors and equipped with different types of radar corners by contemporaneous ship and shore based radar equipment. Researches were conducted on order of the Maritime Office in Gdynia.

CFD Simulation of Two-Sail Interaction about a Sailing Yacht
Journal of the Society of Naval Architects of Japan, 1997The three-dimensional viscous flow around a jib and main sails of a sailing yacht is simulated by using of finite-volume method and zonal boundary technique. For the generation of grid system of the complicated three-dimensional geometry of sails, an interface boundary technique is introduced at the narrow space between two sails.

Concern for the structural design of sailing yachts and other craft. Consideration shall be given to the materials selection, fabrication techniques and design procedures for yacht hull, rig and appendage structures. The role of standards, safety and reliability in the design and production processes should be addressed.

Nonlinear Robust Heading Control for Sailing Yachts
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2012Abstract In this paper, we present ℒ 1 adaptive control theory to provide stabilization of the sailing yachts around any desired heading angle. The nonlinear heading model of the sailing yachts, which is presented in a recent paper, is expressed as a linear time-invariant system, i.e.

Custom Sailing Yacht Design and Manufacture
2001Abstract This article focuses on the design process, materials, and manufacturing techniques for one-off and low-volume production sailing craft. These include racing yachts of typically 10-20 m length for short coastal events, 20-25 m ocean racers, 24 m America's Cup racing craft, multihull racers of 35 m or more, and large luxury ...

Boat Camping Sailing Yacht: A Study Case of Conscious Yacht Design
2016Camping is a pleasurable yachting activity that enables people to visit beautiful and pristine lagoons, rivers, canals, lakes and marine reserves. The water in these places is often very shallow and there are no landing stages. This calls for a type of vessel suitable for coastal yachting and navigating inland waters.

In the following article an attempt has been made to present the characteristics of a sail by considering it as an aerofoil, the “ lift ” and “ drag ” being replaced by two forces mutually at right-angles in a horizontal plane, one force corresponding to the drag, acting in the same direction as the relative wind.
