How do they do it? Of the many thousands of sailors in the United States, very few really understand how sailboats operate. For behind the sophisticated craft of today is a three thousand year search for speed under sail. Since the nineteenth century, sailboat design has become a highly complex and dynamic science, and although the average sailor may be very curious about it, the available literature is all too often technical material aimed at professional builders or overly simple explanations for beginning sailors. Sailboat design attempts to satisfy the curiosity of the sailor, and offers readable and entertaining explanation of: * the evolution of hulls and rigging * aerodynamics and hydrodynamics * the mechanical principles of the center of gravity, balance, and effort and the way they affect sailboat performance. * the theories behind movable masts, wing masts, and other modern developments.

Description: There are sailboats today that can go nearly twice as fast as the speed of the wind driving them...
How do they do it? Of the many thousands of sailors in the United States, very few really
understand how sailboats operate. For behind the sophisticated craft of today is a three thousand year search for speed under sail. Since the nineteenth century, sailboat design has become a highly complex and dynamic science, and although the average sailor may be very curious about it, the available literature is all too often technical material aimed at professional builders or overly simple explanations for beginning sailors.
Sailboat design attempts to satisfy the curiosity of the sailor, and offers readable and entertaining explanation of:
* the evolution of hulls and rigging
* aerodynamics and hydrodynamics
* the mechanical principles of the center of gravity, balance, and effort and the way they affect sailboat performance.
* the theories behind movable masts, wing masts, and other modern developments.
