The influence of sway-roll coupling on the dynamics of an inverted sailing yacht in waves. The ability of a sailing yacht to re-right in waves after capsize will influence the safety of those on board in extreme conditions.\r\n\r\nThe aim of this project is to incorporate the effects of sway-roll coupling into a numerical simulation of the behaviour of an inverted yacht in waves to assess design features which influence re-righting. Experimental work being conducted during 2001 will be extended to enable the forces on a model of an inverted yacht in a breaking wave to be determined. and incorporated along with theoretical predictions into the simulation.
