We show how the equations of motion, under an irrotational flow approximation, can be reduced to a linear partial differential equation for a velocity potential from which we may compute the velocity. We then show how Bernoulli's equation results from a simplification of the momentum equations and, given the velocity, allows one to compute the pressure. We also discuss the role of Kelvin's theorem and circulation in providing a qualitive description of lift. A two-dimensional panel method program is also discussed and is available for download. The program is quite useful in looking at the interaction between a jib and mainsail. Toward the end of the course, we discuss the components of a simple velocity prediction program (VPP) and also discuss how, when sailing upwind, a sail may alter the wind field with respect to following boats. Several computer programs, available as executable files, and running only under Microsoft Windows, are available for download. (Please note I cannot guarantee the programs will run without issues on all computers. A student does not need to run the programs to benefit from the course.) The course is geared toward students with a STEM background, but may also be of interest to others who wish to skip some of the details.
