A groundbreaking introduction to how sailboats behave, and a guide for predicting the performance of a modern sailing yacht
Aero-hydrodynamics and the Performance of Sailing Yachts is the first major yacht design treatise to come along in a decade. With its cutting-edge explanations of how sails, keels, and rudders interact with their respective fluids to make a boat sail--and of how to use that knowledge to optimize a boat--this is a book that every student of yacht design will want on his or her shelf.

Review
'...for students intending to make a career in yacht design and testing...' Amateur Yacht Research Society (October 2009) 'Based on research in wind tunnel and test tank - as well as with real life 12-Metres - it's profound and authoritative.' Sailing Today (February 2010) '...an in-depth analysis...the cruising sailor will enjoy explanations of the science behind design, velocity, heeling effects, steering performance, stability and hull characteristics.' Yachting Monthly (June 2010) 'Fabio Fossati has compiled a book that will be of interest to yachting designers and enthusiasts for years to come.' Nautical Magazine (May 2010) 'very clearly written and well illustrated' Ausmarine (November 2010) 'dip into this design bible and its full colour pictures and diagrams will soon draw you in...clear and engaging' Yachting World (April 2011)
About the Author
Fabio Fossati studies the dynamic behavior of sailing yachts with particular emphasis on sail plans and hull appendages, and has been the head of wind tunnel testing of sailing yachts at Milan Polytechnic since 2004. He directed the testing for the PRADA Challenge America's Cup team in 2003 and for the Luna Rossa team in 2007. He is a doctor of research in applied mechanics and a professor of applied mathematics. At the Milan Polytechnic he teaches fluid mechanics and boat design in a first-level Master's course in naval architecture. He is also a keen sailor, and serves as research associate for the International Technical Committee of the Offshore Racing Congress.

Current Technology of Sail
By T. N. Patch
This book is not for everyone. The author is involved in academic research and is a consulting engineer whose practice is at the cutting edge of the science of yacht design. Aero-Hydrodynamics is primarily written for others who share his passion and sophisticated level technical expertise. But if you have a technical background and enjoy articles Scientific American, the book is full of diagrams and illustrations. The caveat: the text is often preoccupied with technical issues which are conveyed by frequent mathematical equations. If you are a sailor looking for a better understanding of the physics of sailing, the how and why of making a boat sail fast, then "The Symmetry of Sailing" by Ross Garrett is not as lavishly illustrated, but it would be a far better choice. If Professor Fossati's calculus is a foreign language for you, but you want a peek into the theoretical world of science, you can focus on his book's graphics and concentrate on their message. At the very least you will have been able to visit with a designer at the highest level of the sport of sailing. For naval architects and engineers, this is the "must have" book on sailing. It doesn't get any better than this - even if I did not understand a word he said.

Technical book with serious limitations
By Designz
This book goes into the technical detail of sailing craft and is primarily aimed at highly technical people such as a naval architect or yacht designer.
There is a lot of useful detail however there is one major (and extremely important) missing feature of this book that makes it far less useful than it should be, - that missing feature is a nomenclature. Without a nomenclature the formulas presented in the book are almost useless as the terms (and their units) of the equations are not defined.
I am at a loss to understand why the author over looked this critical feature, most especially as he is a University academic.
For this reason alone I could not recommend the book. I live in hope that the next edition will see the inclusion of a nomenclature.

While quite technical for the lay person, there appendices ...
By Thad L
While quite technical for the lay person, there appendices that helped me get upto speed on the physics. Most people with an appreciation for physics and math should be able to pick up the material in the book. I picked this up for help in designing RC racing boats, and I have gleaned quite a bit from the book.
