Popis: Windsurfers appeared in the leisure market during the past two decades and have now been established as one of the most popular water sports. Their design has been dominated by the qualitative feedback from the users of such craft. They have been able to achieve a speed record of about 40 knots at the perfect sailing conditions. It is believed that a more scientific approach in design, using CFD, will result in a craft capable of breaking this speed record.
