The Delft Systematic Yacht Hull Series has been extended to a total of 39 hull form variations, covering a wide range of length-displacement ratios and other form parameters. The total set of model experiment results, including upright and heeled resistance as well as side force and stability, has been analyzed and polynomial expressions to approximate these quantities are presented. In view of the current interest in the performance of sailing yachts in waves, the added resistance in irregular waves of 8 widely different hull form variations has been calculated. Analysis of the results shows that the added resistance in waves strongly depends on the product of displacement-length ratio and the gyradius of the pitching motion.
