conditions and configurations (e.g. two-handed and fully crewed, in short- and longer-course races), fulfilling the criterion of all-round performance, with no weak areas or points of sail, and demonstrating the value of the appendage


and rig and sail 9. designs. On-the-water


experience has also proved the yacht’s positive handling characteristics, showing it to be an easy and comfortable boat to sail, with no discernable vices — the result of the careful consideration of the design of the hull shape and deck layout.


It is my contention that successful yacht design must continue to rely on this combination of art and science, bringing together aspects of intuitive processes and mathematical and engineering disciplines. As Perry states, “It’s a pretty Zenny thing in the end . . . you have to rely upon intuition based upon experience. If it were a simple matter of math then every boat would look pretty much the same”. [23]
