“A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Hull Vane® Application on Motor Yachts”, by Kasper Uithof, Bruno Bouckaert, Perry van Oossanen and Niels Moerke, Published in the Proceedings of the 24th HISWA Symposium, 14-15 November 2016, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (ID No. 5735).
The effectiveness of the Hull Vane® in reducing fuel consumption – and hence in reducing overall running cost – is the subject of this paper. Other considerations of applying the Hull Vane® to the stern of motor yachts are also described, particularly in terms of lay-out, seakeeping performance, and maneuverability.
