Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part M: Journal of Engineering for the Maritime Environment
Gulet-type yachts are one of the symbols of maritime culture with their unique hull forms and schooner or ketch-type riggings. In parallel with the targets aiming for decarbonization in the maritime industry, energy efficiency and emission control are on
