Under the new guidelines, boats must be 30% lighter and have 40% more sail ) area and hulls 20% longer than the former 12-m (13.1-yd.) boats. The boats may mix sail size, hull size and weight in any way they choose so long as, according to a complicated mathematical formula, the numbers add up to 42,000 m (45,900 yds.). From an infinite number of combinations, the boat designers try to find the best mix -- with the help of computers, water tanks and wind tunnels. Their efforts focus on three key areas...
Much of the research on hull design is done with model boats in water tanks. Computers can monitor the various ways in which the boat interacts with the water and help designers build prototypes based on the results. The Italians ran scores of tests in a 400-m (437-yd.) tank to fashion the Venezia's hull. America 3's designers did their research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University to come up with a longer, narrow-bowed hull, meant to slice through the choppy seas expected at San Diego...
