Analysis is presented for equilibrium of yawing moments for yacht sailing in displacement mode in smooth water; free-surface flow is simplified by reflection technique; in cases where hull form is appropriate, hull hydrodynamics are treated by lifting-line theory; in other cases slender-body theory is applied; sail aerodynamics are treated by methods taken from airfoil theory; some design charts are given and computation methods are suggested for practical design calculations.
