The inviscid, steady, hydro-aerodynamic flow around a sailing boat fully equipped with sails and crew was investigated using two different solvers. The hydrodynamic problem was solved based on Green functions for the linearised wave resistance problem, using a simple plane wake model. The aerodynamic problem is fully non-linear with the sails wakes discretised by means of vortex carrying particles. The boat speed was obtained as a result of the balance between hydro- and aerodynamic forces. Only heel and drift angles were free. The balance problem was solved for two cases: crew position or heel angle prescribed.
