Aero-Hydrodynamics and the performance of Sailing Yachts: The Science Behind Sailing Yachts and Their Design

From Baird Maritime:

What, you might ask, has sailing yacht design got to do with modern commercial vessels?

Well, actually quite a lot. Modern vessels are increasingly dependent on super efficient hydro and aero dynamics because of their requirements for increased speed and lower operating costs and emissions. For much the same reasons it is distinctly possible there will be at least a practical return to sail powered or sail assisted commercial vessels.

So, that is where we came in. This very clearly written and well illustrated book offers an excellent state-of-the-art description of the art and science of aero and hydro dynamics.
