This report presents the technical and economic rationale for installing a catrig, a wingsail and a Magnus effect rotor onboard the California Maritime Academy's training ship, Golden Bear. An integrated computer model is described and used for the parametric analysis of the Golden Bear with various combinations of the above sailing rigs. An economic analysis of the Golden Bear fitted with the various rig combinations was made using Net Present Value as the criterion. Economic results were scaled to other hull forms in order to assess their commercial sail assist potential. Studies of hull modifications, ship operational considerations, stability and visibility were made to evaluate the Golden Bear's suitability as a test stand for ongoing research to evaluate and develop the three rigs. Ongoing sail assist training and R&D programs were set out.
