Study is divided into general performance, aerodynamics of that part which is above water, and hydrodynamics of that part which is immersed; it is concluded that little improvement generally in yacht performance may be expected from tank testing alone; useful information might be expected from systematic wind tunnel tests on sailplane arrangements, providing models are large enough to be accurate representations of full scale.
