“…The proposed methodology is implemented in four phases: Phase 1. represents the analysis of the impact of sailing equipment and deck configuration on the sailing speed and performance of the existing model called B40S. Within the phase 2. an analysis of the collected data by expert approach in reading directions for improvement is suggested, [1]. Then in the phase 3. a disigners suggestions for redesign of the existing model are given by implementing the obtained results.…”

“…Continuing the cooperation and exploration of the influence of deck equipment on the performance of sailing, [1], expanded the research by the market conditions that influence the adaptation of exclusively sailing yachts to specific regatta requirements. The goal of all charter companies lies in the better booking of the sailing boats, except in the season also in the pre-season and in the post-season to achieve more profits, Figure 1.…”

The market conditions demanded the adaptation of exclusively touristic sailing yachts to specific race requirements. The hydrodynamic aspects of this problem have been successfully solved using modern tools for CFD analysis. But, the practical aspects of outfitting such vessels to meet the highest tourist requirements while respecting specific racing requirements for deck equipment required a different methodological approach. In fulfilling these requirements, the author indirectly participates in multi-year cooperation with the prominent European manufacturer of sailboats. For the purpose of cooperation, a special methodology was developed for the improvement of the equipment of the defined sailing boat in four stages. In the first stage, an analysis of the impact of sailing equipment and deck configuration of the existing B40S model on sailing performance is suggested using RaceQs computing application and expert approaches for different sea and wind conditions. In the second stage, the analysis of the collected data is carried out by expert approach towards guidelines for improvement. The third stage impacts on redesigning the existing model by implementing the obtained results. In the fourth stage, the effects on the upgraded new B41S model are analyzed repeating the first stage. The methodology is iterative and converges to the optimal solution for the defined criteria.

“…For a sailing yacht, the aspects most often studied are its behaviour in waves [6] and the prediction of its speed under sail [7]. Other areas of interest are the aero-and hydrodynamics of the yacht [8], the behaviour of the sails [9], and the performance of the yacht under different sail settings [10]. Existing articles have also considered masts and rigging, for example the overall strength and performance of standing rigging [11], and the optimisation of the rigging structure design process [12].…”

A sailing yacht is a human-centred product, the design of which revolves primarily around the wants and desires of the future owner. In most cases, these preferences are not measurable, such as a personal aesthetic feeling, or a need for comfort, speed, safety etc. The aims of this paper are to demonstrate that these preferences can be classified and represented numerically, and to show that they are correlated with the type of yacht owned. As a case study, the owner’s preferences for deck equipment are considered. These are determined by pairwise comparisons of the importance rankings for features previously defined by yacht owners, following the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. As a result, a quantitative representation of these preferences is established, and they are shown to be correlated with the type of yacht. The findings of the current study show that the yacht owners’ preferences can be represented numerically, leading to a utilitarian conclusion that concerns the support and even some degree of automation of the design process.
