“The starting point when dimensioning the rig is to calculate the
righting moment. It is commonly agreed that a heel angle of 30o is a good design angle. This corresponds to a reasonably high wind strength with the sails still generating high loads and the boat making good speed through the water. Letting the boat heel over more....in reality means a slower boat owing to increased resistance, with a correspondingly smaller dynamic force.” Principles of Yacht Design Larsson & Eliasson Adlard Coles 1994 Cheers |
