A model of a surface-piercing wing has been towed through the water at three speeds in tow opposite directions for different draughts and drift angles. The experiments were carried out in both deep and shallow water. Purpose of the tests was to measure the longitudinal and transverse forces on the wing-model. From the measured forces hydrostatic manoeuvering derivatives were determined as a function of the drift angle.
