Introduction

​

The aim of this document is to show the towing tank procedure and analysis results completed for a Farr 52 sailing yacht hull. The testing involved the use of a 1:7 scale model of the full scale yacht, comprising a hull, a keel and a bulb. The model was first calibrated to ensure that accurate results were obtained. Then, the model was tested for the upright condition, and then for the heeled and yawed conditions. 49 runs were completed in total.
