- Abstract
The study of sailboat hydrodynamic resistance is an important issue, in evaluation of the navigation performances. The present paper investigates the initial trim influence on the hydrodynamic resistance component, using the experimental facilities of the Research Centre of the Naval Architecture Faculty of "Dunarea de Jos" University of Galati. Experimental model tests were performed on a competition sailing boat model, of about 1.3 m in length, in two different conditions: with and without initial trim. The experimental analysis is drawing the attention to the influence of the initial trim, on one hand and of the appendages on the other hand, on the hydrodynamic resistance in calm water.
