A guide for racing yachtsman that is as useful today as when it was first published. Teaching the fundamentals of the start line, beating to windward, rounding a mark, wind abeam, before the wind. This book is a wonderful collection of anecdotes, tactics and case studies. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

How and why does sail boat performance depend on the configuration and trim of boat and sails? This book provides the yachtsman with answers in a relatively straightforward account of the physical mechanisms of sailing. It presents an accessible overview of the fluid dynamic aspects of sailing and sailing technology, addressing both aeromechanics and hydromechanics. Readers are provided with the basic principles of physics and general mechanics that will assist their understanding of the fluid mechanics of sailing yachts. Rich appendices cover not only in-depth,mathematical-physical treatments and derivations for those wishing to explore further, but also helpful summaries of basic mathematical notions for those wishing to refresh their knowledge. This work explores keel yachts, specifically single-masted mono-hulls with ‘fore-and-aft’, Bermuda-rigged sails. However, much of it is applicable to other types of sailing vessels such as multi-hulls, yachts with multiple masts, windsurf boards and the like. Yachtsmen, yacht designers and professionals of sailing technology will all find something of interest in this work which provides explanations of the mechanics of sailing in a way that is scientifically justified, whilst remaining appealing to those wishing to use their knowledge on-board a sailing vessel. For some years I’m teaching a course on “Sailing Yacht Design” in the master class of yacht design. Actually, I’ve found your book the best one about physics of a sailing yacht I’ve ever read. Edward Canepa, assistant professor in Fluid Machinery at the University of Genova (Italy) ...very impressed, no wonder it took so long. It is “everything I ever wanted to know about sailing but was afraid to ask” !

An estimated 4.1 million people in the United States participate in recreational sailing. Yet the large library of sailing literature leaves many of them high and dry. On one side are technical guides for America’s Cup boat-builders; on the other, simplistic books for weekend sailors with little interest in science. In Float Your Boat! professional and amateur boaters alike will find intelligent and understandable answers to such questions as: What were the key innovations that made sailboats more efficient? How do you increase the speed of a boat? How do sailboats travel into the wind? Why are so many explanations of sailing so wrong? Sailing enthusiast and physicist Mark Denny first traces the evolution of the sailing craft, from prehistoric coracles made of animal skins and antlers to the sailboat’s reinvention as a pleasure craft during the Industrial Revolution. He then identifies specific sailing phenomena—how wind drives modern Bermuda sloops, how torque determines stability, why hull speed exists—and provides the key physics principles behind them. Whether you are an inquisitive landlubber who has never set foot in a boat, a casual weekend sailor, or an old salt who lives for the sea, Float Your Boat! is an accessible guide to the physics of sailing.

Predicting unsteady sailing yacht performance is of significant current interest to racing syndicates and yacht designers alike because it is anticipated that optimising boats for dynamic conditions will lead to large performance gains. Such optimisations are usually carried out with the aid of Dynamic Velocity Prediction Programs (DVPPs). These programs require knowledge about the behaviour of the sails in unsteady flow. To this end Part A of this work looks at the simplified unsteady aerodynamics of a yacht that sails upwind in waves. Unsteady thin aerofoil theory is extended to the case of two interacting aerofoils representing the headsail and mainsail. The developed novel method is analytical in nature and is based on representing the sail bound vorticity distributions and the unsteady vortex wakes by planar vortex sheets. The theory is successfully validated against data from the literature and pressure distributions from wind tunnel tests. An application of the theory to the case of an International America's Cup Class yacht that pitches in waves reveals that the time-varying components of the aerodynamic forces are small and that only very little energy can be extracted from the unsteady flow about the sails and converted into thrust. Part B looks at the aerodynamics of a yacht that tacks. Since today's DVPPs usually suffer from a lack of available data on the behaviour of the sail forces at very low apparent wind angles a series of quasi-steady experiments was carried out. Test results for different tacking scenarios (headsail flogging or backed) are presented in a form that facilitates incorporation into a DVPP. The quasi-steady approach used in the wind tunnel tests does not account for unsteady effects like the aerodynamic inertia due to the 'added mass' of the sails. The added inertia of a sail can, however, be estimated by 'strip theory'. Using expressions from the literature and experimental results it is found that such a strip theory over-estimates the added inertia of a mainsail by about 20%because it neglects the three-dimensional flow around the head and the foot of the sails. Using the DVPP FS Equilibrium the influence of added sail inertia on the tacking behaviour of a yacht is studied and it is found that added sail inertia has a small but noticeable influence on tacking performance.
