Synopsis

This book takes a fresh look at the fundamental physics of sailing, emphasising factors that are unique to high-speed boats, and building logically from the fluid force mechanisms through the hydro and aero components to the numerous boat configurations that now exist.

Suitable performance calculations are clearly explained for all the dominant types: Windsurfers, kite surfers, kite foilers, trimaran catamaran, planing monohulls, moths, etc. along with fascinating observations and speculation of the potential for further increase in speed.

In addition, the book includes exclusive calculations of the performance in waves for some popular boat types. A selection of the calculations can be downloaded with an access code that comes free with the book.

This book should be on any technically minded sailing person's book shelf!

À propos de l?auteur

Malcolm Barnsley qualified in Naval Architecture in 1978, and worked primarily on renewable energy; and in particular wind energy, where he was a rotor design and test engineer for over 20 years with Vestas Wind Turbines.


He has designed and built small experimental sailing boats since 1980, and between 2000 and 2012 was a key member of the team that developed the 2 SAILROCKET craft, the latter of these annihilating the outright speed record of 56 knots with a speed of 65.5 knots in 2012.


He is now retired and divides his time between music-making and playing with his small innovative sailing boats in the Solent area.
