The final report of Force project and Downwind Aero Moments on Phase 2C has been released by the Sailing Yacht Research Foundation (SYRF).
In this paper a multi-part study has been done that used fluid-structure interaction (FSI), modeling to create a publicly accessible set of results consist of all the forces and aerodynamic moments for an array of downwind sails, wind speeds and angles.
Phase 2C studied these effects at apparent wind angles. Interestingly, the findings of the research have profound implications for the spinnaker sheet trimming parametric changes.
To examine the paper in every aspect, a paper in companion has also been written. This paper examines the use of simulations of RANS in identifying optimal downwind sail trim more closely. Submission of this paper has been done and it is pending for publication. Continue reading “SYRF Has New Updates To Share”

Kuang Xiangrong, Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club members with thirty five years of yachting experience, said that yacht industry in China is in an unhealthy state. Several firms are clustering to high-end business yachts, few clubs have equivocal orientations, as well as avenues for profit making are especially narrow, Kuang said, adding that the lack of government policy support and infrastructure means that yachting in country remains in a primitive state.
Around four thousand yachts are filed in the mainland, with most grounded in Shenzhen as well as south China’s Hainan Province, as per China Association of the National Shipbuilding Industry. Continue reading “Yacht Industry of China to has room for development”

He said that winning the award was never a target for them but they do have certain accomplishments and he is really happy to get a reward for that.
Chris Symonds, the secretary of the Wynyard Club was also present with Rodwell at the awards. Greg Rowlings, the executive officer of ‘Yachting Australia’ wonderfully summarized the Yacht Club’s resurgence in the last 12 months. He gave a synopsis of how a small club managed to promote the sport among children by contacting Local Authorities, Sporting Clubs and Schools.
Rodwell said that some years earlier they were on the verge of closing the club down. He also said that other small clubs are still facing the problems they had to face and thus they realized that the only way to ensure survival of their club was to partner with other clubs and contacting other people of the Yachting fraternity. Rodwell said that this strategy helped the club get back on its feet and he further added that yachting clubs nowadays have to engage in other water related activities along with racing.
Amelia Catt won the best female sailor of the year of the year award and Andrew Hunn won the best male sailor of the year award.
