Popis:	The objective of this study is to perform a comparative study of the performance of two Olympic racing-canoes in the presence of lateral wind. This collaborative work gathers some experimental measurements of the ship kinematics and geometrical model, numerical simulations for both aerodynamic and hydrodynamic effects and a mechanical analysis of the performance. A high-fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solver has been used for steady and unsteady aerodynamic and hydrodynamic simulations, including turbulence and free-surface effects, for different wind conditions. Experimental measures, carried out during real races, allowed to use a realistic kinematic model for the ship movements. Results are considered to provide a mechanical analysis of the two racing-canoe performances and provide practical advises for different wind conditions.
