    17. Overall objective in (racing) yacht design: To find the fastest combination of hull and sails for the expected wind & sea conditions. Design hull with lowest resistance, highest sideforce and sails, when integrated with the hull characteristics, produce the greatest thrust. For cruising yachts the same holds true. However displacement is not selected through speed considerations.
