This study surveyed the preparation of 8oz coated fabric and the physical property of the coated fabric according to the treated condition for the sail yacht. And the coated fabrics were compared with the performance of overseas products for verification. Physical properties of the coated fabric treated with non-yellowing functional polyurethane resin were examined according to the treatment condition such as compression and ageing treatments. Finally, yellowing fastness to light for 60 hours was assessed. Considering the compression condition after coating, good physical property was obtained at $6kgf/cm^2$. Also, the performance of yellowing fastness was similar to performance of overseas goods.

세일링 요트 (sailing yacht)는 세일 (sail)의 양력을 주로 이용하여 추진력을 얻는다. 요트 경주에서와 같이 항주 속도가 중요한 문제에서는 세일의 성능이 좋을수록 빠른 속도를 낼 수 있기 때문에 세일 주변의 유동해석을 통한 성능 추정과 효율의 최적화는 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 경주요트의 형태로써 지브 세일 (jib sail)과 메인 세일 (main sail) 그리고 한 개의 마스트(mast)로 구성된 슬루프(sloop)형 요트에 대한 유동해석을 하였다. 풍상범주 상태에서의 30ft급 세일링 요트인 KORDY-30의 jib sail과 main sail의 높이에 따른 단면을 모델링하였다. 슬루프형 요트의 경우, 세일링 요트에서 jib sail과 main sail이 각각 단독으로 있는 형태의 요트보다 세일의 개수가 증가함에 따라 양력이 증가하지만 항력도 따라서 증가 할 것이라고 가정했다. 따라서 jib sail의 각도를 다양하게 변화시켜 양력계수와, 항력계수의 변화를 살펴보고 그에 따른 양항비의 분석을 통해 최적의 효율을 갖는 jib sail의 각도를 알아보았다.

Thin fabric-based yacht sails have a cambered shape to generate lift force; however, their shape can be easily deformed by wind pressure and also affected by the deformation of the mast. These deformations can change the airflow characteristics over the sail. Therefore, Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis is needed to evaluate the sail force precisely. In this study, airflow over the deformed sail and rig was studied using FSI. Elastic deformation of the sail and rig was obtained by an aerodynamic calculation under dynamic pressure loading on the sail surface. The effects of rig deformation on the aerodynamic performance of the sail were examined according to the rig type and mast flexibilities. As a result, the changes of lift force for a fractional type rig with a thin mast section were more significant than with a masthead rig.

The aim of the paper is to use optimization and advanced numerical computation of a sail fiber-reinforced composite model to increase the performance of a yacht under wind action. Designing a composite-shell system against the wind is a very complex problem, which only in the last two decades has been approached by advanced modeling, optimization and computer fluid dynamics (CFDs) based methods. A sail is a tensile structure hoisted on the rig of a yacht, inflated by wind pressure. Our objective is the multiple criteria optimization of a sail, the engine of a yacht, in order to obtain the maximum thrust force for a given load distribution. We will compute the best possible yarn thickness orientation and distribution in order to minimize the total fiber volume with some displacement constraints and in order to leave the most uniform stress distribution over the whole structure. In this paper our attention will be focused on computer simulation, modeling and optimization of a sail-shape mathematical model in different regatta and wind conditions, with the purpose of improving maneuverability and speed made good.

This study aims to improve the price competitiveness of a steering system with a relatively high cost portion among sail yacht components. Hence, the components of the steering system were analyzed, and steering system modularization was proposed. The fabrication processes before and after the application of modularization was presented. For modularization, primary components such as the pedestals and quadrants of the steering system were developed, and the structural safety of the components was reviewed. It was confirmed that the manufacturing cost of the developed steering system decreased by approximately 33% compared with the existing system. The new steering system presented herein is expected to contribute to the localization of components and price competitiveness of sail yachts.

The South Korean marine industry is emerging as a significant market, driven by the growing popularity of various water leisure activities, including sailing. This trend suggests a rising demand for sailing yachts. Consequently, since 2022, the design and development of a 28ft sailing yacht have been ongoing, supported by the government and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, to promote yachting culture in South Korea. The Velocity Prediction Program (VPP) analysis was conducted using WinDesign during the preliminary design stage to evaluate performance and determine design parameters. The hydrodynamic model used for this vessel is based on regression methods developed from years of experience in naval architecture and yacht research at the Wolfson Unit, providing reliable estimates for most modern yachts. However, owing to the lack of specific hydrodynamic data from towing tank tests or CFD numerical analysis, verification of the hydrodynamic model has faced some challenges. Additionally, an incomplete weight estimate resulted in variable VCG values, potentially affecting stability and overall performance. The optimal boat speed for this vessel was determined at true wind speeds (TWS) of 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 knots, using both the jib (up to 120° TWA) and the spinnaker (from 80° TWA). The optimized speed of the yacht was found to be comparable to that of international similar-class yachts.
