T&R Report R-10: Sail Force Coefficients for Systematic Rig Variations (1971)

Panel H-13 (Sailing Yachts) of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers Technical and Research Program sponsored the preparation of this report, which consists primarily of tables of sail force coefficients for systematic variations in sailing yacht rig geometry. These coefficients were determined by a computer program written in accordance with a mathematical model developed by the author and reported in the 1968 Transactions of the Society.
