Abstract

The pressure distribution on upwind sails was investigated both with model-scale pressure tapped sails in a wind tunnel and with full-scale sails tested on a 24-foot yacht. The present paper summarises the results of the tests describing the pressure distributions on the two sails. The flow field correlated with the pressure measurements is also discussed.
