The Delft Systematic Yacht Hull (Series II) Experiments

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

The Delft systematic Yacht Hull Series (series I) has been extended with six hull forms which cover a range of medium to very light displacements. Upright and heeled resistance, as well as side force and stability have been measured for a large range of forward speeds. Polynomial expressions for the upright resistance, based on the combined Series I and II, are given for Froude numbers up to Fn = 0.60. The measured side force and induced resistance are analysed, and velocity predictions using Series I and II results are discussed.
