These tests are described in T&R Bulletin 1-30, "Rigging Loads of the 12-Metre Yacht Weatherly." Until now, such thorough informa- tion has not been available and it is hoped that the results of this SNAME comprehensive testing program will aid yacht designers in designing more efficient rigs and spars with more assurance that they will not fail. The tests, coordinated by members of Panel H-13, were conducted with the cooperation of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, Philip L. Rhodes, Inc., Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corp., Sparkman & Stephens, Inc., U.S. Coast Guard, Moran Towing Co., and various insurance under- writers. The testing was designed to record simultaneous measurements of standing and running loads on the rigging and bending and compression loads on the mast under realistic wind- ward sailing conditions. The tests, in addition to covering a wide range of wind conditions and heeling angles, simulated operation in a seaway through the use of the tug Eugenia Moran to produce waves in the rela- tively smooth water of Long Island Sound. The bulletin includes samples of the data collected and plots of measured loads, as well as an analyti- cal check on the test results. An anal- ysis of the problems encountered in the testing program was also made and suggestions for future testing in this area are included. Bulletin 1-30, "Rigging Loads of the 12-Metre Yacht Weatherly," was reviewed for publication by the Hy- drodynamics Committee of the Soci- ety's T&R program and is available through The Society of Naval Archi- tects and Marine Engineers, 74 Trin- ity Place, New York, N.Y. 10006, for $9 per copy. Members of the So- ciety may obtain a copy for $6. If payment is included with the order, these prices include postage via third class mail in the United States and as "Printed Matter" in all other coun- tries.
