The PROBLEM
PROBLEMS we have to solve:
Breaking the World Speed Sailing Record is not an easy thing because
problems we have to solve cover large fields:
Two different fluids (water and air) :
- Free surface.
- Interaction between these two fluids.
- Ground effect at high speed.
When the boat is in contact with the air, we have to :
- Solve the aerodynamic problems.
- Manage the passive parts (hulls at high speed).
- Manage the wind fluctuations.
When the boat is in contact with the water, we have to :
Extend the stability notion to a pilotability one.
Solve the Structural Mechanics problems.
- Dimension of the boat (sails, beams,...)
- Choice of Materials (weight, optimal material strength)...
The communication part
The juridical aspects (contracts)
