 | Wetted surface area
Notes on wetted surface area (WSA). "I wrote these notes because I have seen on several sites various questions about WSA and the effect on speed, which has more WSA – a catamaran or a monohull, plus several other queries and they are all answered here."

 | Wetted surface area II: Cat hulls or Monos
"This posting concerns the wetted surface of a catamaran versus a monohull. None the aspects of stability, suitability, seaworthiness etc are addressed only the WSA and the effect on speed." (Added: 4-Dec-2002 Hits: 650) | Rate | Visit

 | What's the Ideal Sailing Rig?
The type of rig is often a pre-ordained choice once one has determined vessel size, the preferred layout, and the maximum size of sail one can handle. Is there a reason to prefer one rig type over another? How does one choose an appropriate aspect ratio? Michael Kasten. (Added: 10-Jan-2002 Hits: 2774) | Rate | Visit

 | Wingmast Aerodynamics 
The basic aerodynamic features of two- dimensional sections that consist of a symmetrical airfoil with a thin sail extending from the trailing edge. A simple method for designing wingmast shapes is presented, which does not require a computer to produce masts with good aerodynamic performance. The effects of various mast sizes are explored, and large masts are shown to have a greater operating range of angle of attack. Maximum lift for both small and large masts is similar.
