    Abstract : The present work reports the first systematic results obtained in wind tunnel and at full scale with theexperimental apparatus developed within the joint project among Politecnico di Milano, North Sails andCSEM. The steady state upwind aerodynamics of sailing yachts are investigated through the contemporarymeasurement of global forces, distributed pressures and sail flying shapes, and with numerical simulationsbased on Potential Theory and Navier-Stokes equations.
