Some Thoughts about the Future of Sailing : Bionic Science and Yacht Design

Abstract from the year 2016 in the subject Engineering - Naval Engineering, Ocean Engineering, , course: Bionic Engineering, language: English, comment: Michael Dienst, yachtsman and bionic scientist in Berlin, says why biological systems can be a model for future yacht design. An interview on the "Future of sailing" was released in early 2016 in a German sailing magazine in abbreviated form., abstract: Bionics analyses phenomena in nature to derive technical solutions for the future. Especially with the fluidic creatures, animals and plants that live in the water or flying through the air, in the millions of years of biological evolution the nature had deep look into the bag of tricks of physical effects. In fluidics, it depends on smallest amounts of energy, the efficiencies must be high, the losses small and it is an absolute lightweight hip. That's also in sailing that way.
