This work is a first attempt to derive a full sailing boat model by coupling an aerodynamic solver with an hydrodynamie solver. This model has been defined as the minimum basis which can respect the main characteristics of the flow. The crude algorithm used to solve the resulting non-linear coupled problems never failed to converge. A substantial part of this property may be attributed to the limitation of the domain where the equilibrium point was allowed to move freely. These limitations where derived from observation of real sailing boats. To some extent, the convergence sequence can be expected to produce a quasi-static approximation of the unsteady motion of the boat. One of the more encouraging result in this respect is the similarity between the solution obtained and what can be observed on real boats. Our results compare reasonably well with the results computed by the boat designer VPP (Velocity Prediction Program).
