Sail and Hull Design Challenge Name: _________________________________
Date: ____________________
Challenge: US Sailing is working with North Sails to develop a new boat design with new sails. Your task is to design a main sail and a jib sail for their new sail boat. Using Pythagorean’s Theorem, calculate the length of the foot, luff, and leech of the main and jib sails. Once you have the calculations for the production team at North Sails, please provide a rough sketch of the sails for the new boat. When your design is complete please add a short paragraph explaining the benefits of your design and why US Sailing should use it. Please note: There are not any specific requirement for the dimensions of the boat.
