Abstract
The unique features of the International Sailing Canoe have intrigued naval architects and sailors for years. This paper highlights the historical design development, describes current trends, and presents results from finite element analyses of three popular construction methods: cold-molded cedar, fiberglass, and carbon/epoxy. Comparisons are presented of the bending and torsional stiffness, pitch gyradius, and factors of safety. In general, the carbon/epoxy exhibited the best characteristics, followed by the cold-molded cedar and the fiberglass. The Tsai-Wu quadratic failure criterion developed for laminated plates was used in the factor-of-safety calculations. Factors of safety correlated closely to empirical development.
