About this document
MC Scow Rigging Analysis and Diagram by Fer VF is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses methods for calculating stresses in a sailboat mast based on aerodynamic loads from the sails. It begins by explaining that stresses will be analyzed based on the forces each sail develops, rather than previous methods used for boats with unusual sail geometries. The document then outlines the process, which involves: 1) Determining the maximum righting moment to calculate total lateral force. 2) Distributing the force between the hull, rigging and each sail based on their surface
