A three-degree-of-freedom mathematical model has been developed to describe the zigzag maneuvering behavior of a prototype hull form used in the Royal Australian Navy precursor mine sweeping drone boat. The model predicts the yaw rate of the vessel in response to the angle of thrust that a single outboard motor makes with respect to the center line of the boat. The outboard motor is assumed to supply a constant thrust. This report describes the development of the model from first principles and its transformation into a form suitable for use in closed loop control modeling. The coefficients of the model were determined using full scale maneuvering data for the prototype hull form. Hydrodynamics, Manoeuvring.
