In this paper the results of the systematic series is summarized and some approximations are discussed which may be useful for the determination of the performance of a sailing yacht in the design stage, using only simple geometric data of the hull and the sailplan. The determination of the sail forces and the speed polar is discussed briefly. Finally two examples are given where performance calculations have been used in the design procedure.
