Optimization of the Internal Structure and Shape of a 470 Dinghy Centerboard

Optimization of the Internal Structure and Shape of a 470 Dinghy Centerboard

The purpose of this paper is to design an improved centerboard for the Olympic 470 sailing dinghy sailing upwind. The design is improved by introducing a composite design that makes the centerboard twist to windward when sailing upwind, thereby reducing the angle of attack of the hull. The results s...
