Thrust and Side Force: Summed, Both and Twisted

CONCLUSIONS Both straight and twisted flow around a pair of downwind sails have been modelled. Under some sailing conditions there is significant interactions between the sails, however under normal sailing situations this interaction is quite small. With twisted flow the thrust and side force coefficients are similar to those for straight flow if referenced to the masthead apparent wind speed and direction.
