© SMAR-Azure Ltd, Aerodynamic Optimization Results INPUT DATA Target sailing course at 12 TWS (see previous slide) Sheeting and heeling angles have been kept fixed Jib design shape Twist and maximum camber has been evenly reduced throughout the foresail Mainsail design shape Twist has been slightly evenly increased, while camber has not been changed RESULTS Thrust12620 N+8.0% Side force46770 N- 2.6% Heeling moment kNm- 3.3% Thrust Coefficient % Side Coefficient % Thrust / Side Ratio % Conclusions Even if the thrust is increasing considerably, the side force and the heeling moment are decreasing instead, allowing a much higher overall efficiency of the sailplan
