Power of Mumm30 vs Wauquiez Centurion 45S
Force generate by the sail should be proportional to the sail area Larger boat has larger sail and heavier mass. Power/ mass is a parameter to compare power of different boat.
Suppose two boat generate same force/ unit sail area although the sail configuration differ.
Area of MUmm 30 sail are= 27.44+ 19.37 meter2=46.8 m2
mass of Mumm30=1950 kg A/m=0.024
