These instruments provide numerical data that can be used to calculate the wind velocities. Why is it important to know the magnitude and direction of wind velocities when sailing? Knowing the magnitude and direction of wind velocities is crucial for sailing as it helps sailors to adjust th...
The single high aspect ratio foil centerboard gives excellent upwind performance, and combined with rockered hulls, easy tacking at any wind speed. Twin interconnected rudders provide dual tiller helm positions for sailing, with a wheel helm steering both motor and rudders for motoring comfort and...
ECO40 is a Class 40 oceanic vessel (LOA of 12,0 m) that has been equipped with a data acquisition system for both the met-ocean parameters recorded on-board (i.e. apparent and real wind speed and wind direction, atmospheric pressure, current velocity, air and sea temperature, etc.) ...
The on-board multiparametric box, which is placed between the second and third bench of the catamaran (Figure 2), modifies the displacement, gravity center and trim of the boat. If the skipper wants to maintain the direction of the boat, he/she has to sit closer to the stern than without...
