“A Method for the Calculation of Resistance and Side Force of Sailing Yachts”, by Peter van Oossanen, Published in the Proceedings of the Conference on “Calculator and Computer-Aided Design for Small Craft”, Royal Institution of Naval Architects, Southampton, 31st-March-1st April 1981 (ID No. 3710).
In this paper a method for the approximate calculation of the resistance (drag) and side force of sailing yachts is described. The subject formulations are suited for use in Velocity Prediction Programs.
