Description:

In 2016 a 49er dinghy wind tunnel model was constructed and tested with downwind sails. This project will include wind tunnel testing with both upwind and downwind sails in order to provide an aerodynamic model for the dinghy. The project will also include analysis of hydrodynamic data in order to develop a full Velocity Prediction Program.
