Abstract:Towing Tank tests on a single 2.4 m LOA model hull form with 3 alternative counter lengths, and 2 alternative rudder configurations have been carried out in the Southampton Towing Tank. The results were used to derive predictions of full scale resistance curves for a 10m L WL racing yacht. In addition to the resistance data, sinkage and, trim were measured. Wave profile measurements were also made to determine the influence of counter length on the hull generated waves. The resistance curves are presented for … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
