T&R Bulletin 1-28: Full Scale Tank Tests of the 5.5 Meter Yacht "Antiope." (1967)

Measurements of hydrodynamic drag and side force plus observations of flow have been accomplished for the 5.5 meter yacht ANTIOPE at the David Taylor Model Basin. These tests are for the purpose of providing a definitive set of data for a typical sailing yacht, principally for correlation with equivalent scale model experiments to check and promote improvements in methods for the model tests. In addition, the detailed understanding of the forces and flow patterns for this one hull will enhance the general understanding about all sailing yachts.
