DESIGN LOADS FOR THE KEEL OF A SAILING YACHT Copyright © U. Remmlinger, Germany, 2010 Abstract. The paper describes experimental drop tests of a sailing yacht model down on to a calm water surface and reports results for the deceleration of the hull and for bending loads on the keel. Based on similarity laws, recommendations can be given for the de- sign loads of full-scale yacht keels. NOMENCLATURE the proper design loads of the keel-hull junction. This is astonishing, since the loss of the keel, leading to capsize ALK Lateral area of keel is probably the most dangerous hazard in sailing craft a , a , a Components of the acceleration vector structure.
