Aero-hydrodynamic forces

[dawor]

I'm a student of Naval Architecture from Belgrade. Currently I'm working on a project of sailing boat (cruising sloop 40') and I 'm interested in aerodynamic and hydrodynamic forces. Also I would like to see some drawings about that. Can You help me?

That's a bit like saying, "I'm interested in history. Got anything on the history of the world?"

Get a copy of "Principles of Yacht Design" by Larsson & Eliasson.

Then go to http://wseweb.ew.usna.edu/nahl/csys/default.htm . I think my favoite single volume is the 11th CSYS, January, 1993.

Check out the "Secrets of Tunnel Boat Design" book (http://www.aeromarineresearch.com/stbd2.html) and the "History of Tunnel Boat Design" book (http://www.aeromarineresearch.com/history.html) .
