G'day,
I don't have anything, but basically it is the drive force from the
sails and the drag from each hull and the rudders. Hulls can be
calculated with Michelet if required.
The drag on the windward hull is less than on the leeward one as it
has lower wetted surface which gets even lower as the breeze
increases.
Be great if Terho would put some numbers on this for us.
Regards,
Rob
