Best shot I can find of one rigged with reasonable clarity:...
Hi upchurchmr - appreciate the response. I've lurked here as an aero and fluid dynamics nerd for years, but now that it's time to actually get...
Hi all, Just became the third owner of a 2015 Warren Light Craft Tandem Sail, which is a cool little tri / sailing kayak design. My wife and I...
Thanks for the course, Mark, this is demystifying some corners of aero for me. I agree having the book at hand is better than the online viewer......

My gosh they're fast upwind.
Wow, giving up already, Gary? If I'd found massive performance (and thought the other team could replicate the technique), I sure as hell wouldn't...
I've lurked the tech threads and multi-threads around here for a while, and from the perspective of a fluid dynamics/composites aficionado, the...
Wow. Ummm... NZ meltdown.
Wow. AC sailing goes full contact! This is becoming NASCAR on the water...
Oracle seemed to command this one pretty well... talk about a momentum shift.
Ah, so close.
Cool simulations! As an atmospheric science grad student with a fondness for boats and aero who does LES modeling of boundary layer cloud as a day...
