The design is based on a mathematical formula that balances a boat's waterline length, sail area and displacement so that adding significantly to one dimension requires decreasing others.
Regatta organizers use a formula comparing length, sail area and other factors to produce a time handicapping system that allows sailboats of differing shapes and sizes to compete against one another.
The Kd values for the full-length SAIL antigen were comparable to those measured with the ECD peptide (Table 1).
All boats in a one-design class are built to the same specifications in length, beam, sail area, and other elements.
The Universal Rule, adopted in 1905 in the United States and later internationally, retained length and sail area as chief factors but also imposed penalties on overhangs, draft, freeboard, and other dimensions.
He glided through the butterfly lengths and sailed through the backstroke.
But Bernard Robinson's floor-length heave sailed over the backboard at the other end and the ball went to the Nittany Lions, who inbounded it and ran out the clock.
From a practical standpoint, the minimum overall length for a sailing model is 24 inches (61.0 cm) when sailed among other larger models.
Such rules are based on measurement formulas that take into account a yacht's length, beam, displacement, sail area, and other design factors that affect its potential speed.
Harrop claimed that a satellite with a wire 1 km (0.62 mile) in length and a sail 8,400 km (5,220 miles) in width would generate 100 billion times the power needed by humanity annually.
