Description

This is the New Testament of the aero- and hydromechanics of sailing. Contains full and scientifically justified descriptions of the dependence of the performance of sailing yachts on their configuration and trim and the underlying physical mechanisms. Bridges the gap between the few existing books on the aero- and hydrodynamics of sailing and the more popular books that deal with the “what and how” but not with the “why” of sailing yacht configurations and boat trim. New edition of the author’s earlier book on the Aero- and Hydromechanics of Keel Yachts. Now also covers the recently evolved technology of foiling. REVIEWS (OF THE 1ST EDITION) From the December 2015 issue of the Dutch sailing magazine “Zeilen” (translated): “Decades of research and development in fluid dynamics, but also his experience as a cruising yachtsman, have put Joop Slooff in the position to write a new standard work on the behavior of keel yachts in wind and water. ……the author treats the basic principles of the forces acting on a sailing yacht, but he describes also how these principles translate to the boat and its sails. …His book is an excellent work for the dedicated yachtsman who is interested in the ‘why’ and the scientific background of the behavior of his or her boat in wind and water.” Comment (Dec. 2015) by Edward Canepa, assistant professor in Fluid Machinery at the University of Genova (Italy): “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”. Comment (Dec. 2015) by Frank Woodward, former computational fluid dynamicist at the Boeing Company and Analytical Methods Inc., and a cruising yachtsman (retired): “…very impressed, no wonder it took so long. It is 'everything I ever wanted to know about sailing but was afraid to ask' !”
