摘要：	Sailing craft form an expanding sector of the marine industry and events such as the America's Cup and the Volvo Ocean Race (previously the Whitbread Round-the-World Race) are receiving increased public interest. The leisure industry forms a substantial portion of the activities of many countries; water sports and sailing boats are of principal interest here. The science and technology associated with the design, construction and operation of sailing yachts, along with fabrication and construction materials technology, are all advancing at a rapid rate; and new design tools based on computation techniques are emerging. It is important for students of the subject and industrial designers to be aware both of the physical mechanisms by which sailing craft are governed and the science and technology employed in their design. This book and its companion volume -- Sailing Yacht Design: Practice which deals with practical aspects -- are intended to provide a sound theoretical base for the design, manufacture and operation of sailing craft. They represent a first step in further study of this interesting and rewarding subject.
