What is Foiling Optimist Design and Performance about?

The document discusses a project to design and test a foiling Optimist dinghy. It developed a velocity prediction program incorporating sail, hull, and foil data to determine if and at what wind speed an Optimist could foil. Full-scale hull tests and 1:4 scale sail tests were conducted. Numerical models were also used. On-water testing showed the Optimist design could stably foil at 12 knots.
