Please correct any errors I have made, and answer my questions: Most sea kayaks are designed to weathercock in the wind when used without a skeg or rudder, and if you don't adjust the trim using weight or seat position, and don't have any hulltop objects, the bow rides lower with respect to the...

Hello everyone, I participated in some kind of unmanned marine vehicle competition. I have a team of aerospace engineers. In general, we lack information on ships. I was able to find a few formulas and proceeded to the drawing process. While drawing the hull, I realized something and I can't...

Hello! I came up with this idea to minimize the air influence from single mast on the main sail. the idea mainly came from reading this paper. I came up with an idea of an A-type that is basically the best of most worlds, in which its still as convenient as the standart and as performative as a...
