Float Your Boat!: The Evolution and Science of Sailing
浮上你的船！：航行的演变与科学
Mark Denny
马克丹尼
An estimated 4.1 million people in the United States participate in recreational sailing. Yet the large library of sailing literature leaves many of them high and dry. On one side are technical guides for America's Cup boat-builders; on the other, simplistic books for weekend sailors with little interest in science. In Float Your Boat! professional and amateur boaters alike will find intelligent and understandable answers to such questions as: What were the key innovations that made sailboats more efficient? How do you increase the speed of a boat? How do sailboats travel into the wind? Why are so many explanations of sailing so wrong? Sailing enthusiast and physicist Mark Denny first traces the evolution of the sailing craft, from prehistoric coracles made of animal skins and antlers to the sailboat's reinvention as a pleasure craft during the Industrial Revolution. He then identifies specific sailing phenomena -- how wind drives modern Bermuda sloops, how torque determines stability, why hull speed exists -- and provides the key physics principles behind them. Whether you are an inquisitive landlubber who has never set foot in a boat, a casual weekend sailor, or an old salt who lives for the sea, Float Your Boat! is an accessible guide to the physics of sailing. (April 2009)
在美国，估计有410万人参加休闲帆船运动。然而，庞大的航海文献资料库使其中许多文献枯燥乏味。一方面是美洲杯造船厂的技术指南。另一方面，针对周末水手的简单书籍，对科学的兴趣不大。在漂浮你的船！专业和业余划船者都会找到以下问题的明智和可理解的答案：什么是使帆船效率更高的关键创新？您如何提高船速？帆船如何在风中行进？为什么这么多关于航行的解释如此错误？帆船运动爱好者和物理学家马克·丹尼（Mark Denny）首先追溯了帆船运动的演变，从史前由动物皮和鹿角制成的小提琴到帆船。在工业革命期间被重新发明为一种游乐工具。然后，他确定了特定的航行现象-风如何驱动现代百慕大单桅帆船，扭矩如何确定稳定性，为何存在船体速度-并提供了背后的关键物理原理。无论您是一个从未问过船的好奇的陆地润滑者，还是一个周末休闲的水手，还是一个住在海里的老盐，Float Your Boat！是航行物理的无障碍指南。（2009年4月）还是为海而生的老盐，浮船！是航行物理的无障碍指南。（2009年4月）还是为海而生的老盐，浮船！是航行物理的无障碍指南。（2009年4月）
