    Design of the Courageous Mast Designers’ Forum By Arvel Gentry YACHTING Magazine, February 1975 (Arvel Gentry is a research aerodynamicist at the Douglas Aircraft Co., in Long Beach, Cal., and has long had a special fascination for sailboat aerodynamics, a subject with which he has had extensive practical experience on his successful Ranger 23 “Kittiwake.” His non-sailing weekends are spent with such December 1999 design projects as a sailing performance recorder for the new 79' ketch “Kialoa III” and mast shapes for ocean racers and 12-meters. Here he describes the work behind the mast section on the 1974 America's cup defender. Eds.) The America's Cup is defended and challenged by men sailing the most advanced boats afloat, and no 12-Meter skipper would want to go to the starting line with anything but the fastest boat and best equipment that designers and builders can produce. Since very small differences in boatspeed can mean the margin between victory and defeat, every part of the boat (hull, rigging, and sails) is reviewed and studied for any possible improvement. Much was written last summer and fall about hull shape (with the disappointment of the Chance-designed Mariner) and about sails (the Kevlar mainsails and the Hood versus North competition). Although other design Figure 2. Aluminum shapes used to test new spar designs on the author’s Ranger 23 (foreground) and on an Ericson 46 features were less spectacular and less obvious, they were (background).

  • 'Development of a Vpp Based Rating for J-Class Yachts'
    ‘Development of a Vpp based rating for J-Class Yachts’ Clay Oliver, Yacht Research International, and John Robinson, Wolfson Unit MTIA. Abstract The J-Class was originally one of a number of level rating classes, developed under the ‘Universal Rule’, rating at 76 feet. The class was designated for each of the three America’s Cup series from 1930 to 1937. Most of the yachts were either scrapped or laid up at the end of the 1930’s, but more recently interest in the class has revived. Following refits and restorations, and one complete rebuild, there is now a class association and interest in further builds is strong, with two new boats already well into construction and fit out. For several years, the J-Class Association has run regattas based upon a Time Correction Factor (TCF) calculated using the standard WinDesign Velocity Prediction Program (Vpp). In 2007, the Association transferred the operation of this rating system to the Wolfson Unit both as a measure of independence and further to refine the process. The form and proportion of the J-Class contrast dramatically with those of the modern yachts which have largely driven developments in VPP hydrodynamic formulations in recent years. This paper describes the some new formulations geared specifically to the J-Class yacht, and generally applicable to the traditional yacht. The fact that the keel and hull of the traditional yacht cannot be rationally delineated is an issue and an approach to obviate this problem is described. Data from 1936 towing tank experiments of 1/24th and 1/8th-scale J-Class models are reanalyzed for new J-Class Vpp formulations.

  • History America's Cup & J-Class
    h i s t o r y America’s Cup & J-Class The tradition of America’s Cup races began in 1851 when the schooner America defeated 15 British yachts to win the Round the Island Race in Cowes. Between then and the Second World War, races for the America’s Cup were held on 16 occasions. Leading businessmen such as Sir Thomas Lipton, Thomas Sopwith and Harold S. Vanderbilt went to extremes and spent huge sums of money in order to try and win the ornate trophy known affectionately as the Old Mug. Those who succeeded took on the role of defender, waiting until the other J-Classers determined who would be the next challenger. Due to the high stakes and immense public interest the fight was not always fair, and many protests had to be evaluated by the New York Yacht Club. In these days the America’s Cup remained a battle between J-Class yachts competed for the America’s Cup in 1930, Rainbow, Endeavour, Ranger, American and British yachts. After the Universal Rule was 1934 and 1937. Although the America’s Cup recommenced Endeavour II and Yankee compete established in 1930 the participants were J-Class yachts in the 1950s, the heyday of the J-Class was over and it in the 1937 preliminary race with a waterline length from 75 to 87 feet and a draught of would be more than a half a century before they raced up to 15 feet. It was this Universal Rule, developed by Nat again. The majestic yachts of the 1930s were either Herreshoff, which established a J-Class with more or less scrapped or used as house boats in the mud of the Hamble similar yachts categorised in one class.
