Mechanics of sailing ship motion

Abstract

The Author, looking into the rules defining the sailing ship efficiency, delineates a number of mathematical equations that are proved in practice to be accurate. The equation of the sailing ship efficiency in a downwind sector is similar to the curves from Wulff grid, while the equation in an windward sector is similar to the fourth degree curve, not circulated yet. The article presents details of the established assumptions, a method of formulas' deriving as well as conclusions and suggestions of new definitions of terms to be used in the nautical vocabulary.
