    Abstract : Wind propulsion is a traditional way to propel ships over the oceans. In the recent development towards more sustainable shipping, sailing is considered in the industry again with high momentum. For a modern merchant ship, the aerodynamic forces generated on the particular rigging are unusual. READ MORE
