    Hello,
    I'm doing a work with my University about canting keel. I'm now serching some data about dynamic of a sailbot (an open 60 if possible) when it sail in waved sea. I need the six displacements (surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch, and yaw). Where i can find this data? Someone can help me?

    Tanks and sorry for my poor english

    Paolo,

    I don't think you will find it. At least, not that specific for an open 60 sailboat with a canting keel. Some designers may have collected data on specific designs, but generally they do not publish their findings. You will probably have to come up with some kind of research on your own.
