Definitions

  • the center of resistance of the hull to the motion of the hull in the water is located close to the fore-aft middle of the boat and approximately at the middle of the keel or centerboard.
  • the lateral dragging force of the water on the boat is effectively applied at this point.
  • This force when projected onto a horizontal (relative to the water) plane together with the force-on-the-sail vector, defines a torque or couple which determines the directional balance of the boat.
  • the force-on- the-sail vector extended in both directions and projected onto the horizontal plane, lies before a similar projection of the resistance force vector, there is a tendency for the boat to turn off the wind, and the helmsman must compensate by holding the boat into the wind.
  • Still another objective of this invention is to reduce or partially reverse the immersion of the hull when sailing close to the wind.
