| Forces on the mast HI, I'm developing my thesis about the structural optimization of a sailboat, now I have some dubts about the forces distribution on the mast while the boat is running with the wind coming from stern. The boat sail plan is mainsail/spinnaker; while the mainsail force could be reduced to a distribuited pressure on the mast , I don't know how reduce the spinnaker forces. It's correct to put the 80% on the top of the mast and the 20% where the outrigger boom is joint to the mast? please help me!! thanks to all.  |
