Accurate modelling of the performance a yacht in varying environmental conditions can significantly improve yachts performance. However, racing is highly complex multi-physics system meaning that real-time prediction tools are always semi-empirical, leaving significant room for improvement. In this paper we first use unsupervised machine learning to analyse full-scale data. The widely documente...

Hydrofoil assistance on a catamaran model was tried twenty years ago and an unexpected resistance improvement of 40% initiated the creation of a research project to investigate the effect. Today the research project is still active inspite of designs and model tests resulting in the construction of over 200 Hysucats. Theoretical efforts to determine the hydrodynamics of the Hysucat principle re...
