Year: 2014 Language: English Author: Collective Genre: Guide Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 32 Description: Since the latter 1800s, yacht designers and Naval Architects have employed models in the development of full scale yachts. The great Nathanael Herreshoff designed by carving half-hulls and yacht designs have been tested with prototype sailing models and tow tank models. Innovative model design features and material uses have even been mirrored in America’s Cup racers and vice versa. Further, design theories developed for models have been applied widely in full scale yachting. Bill Daniels’ 1905 method of calculating static hull balance for his XPDNC model showed designers how to produce a hull that did not yaw when it heeled, a technique extended by Admiral Turner’s “Metacentric Shelf ” design method, first documented in a 1931 Yachting magazine article on models. In this way, a direct relationship between sailing models and full size yachts has been well documented.
