ARTICLES and PAPERS

I often wince at what I have written only a few years ago. It is either that I am getting smarter, or that I just wrote some silly things (what was I thinking?). Anyway, here is some stuff I have written, hopefully you may find them interesting. The original source which published the paper can no doubt send you a full copy, The contents are copyright to either me or the publisher of the original, so please ask if you want to re-use bits of it/them. I am sure that this would not be a problem as long as original publisher is given due recognition.

• Mast and Rigging Loads in the sailing yacht New Zealand (KZ1) and Rig Design Formulae RINA paper W8 written 1989, published in 1993

These articles, notes and papers are available from me to email to you should you be interested. They are all compressed into a single ZIP file, so I send you the lot. I have not put my Master's Degree thesis on the list as I do not have access to an electronic copy, 'Computer Aided Analysis of Yacht Rigs' University of Auckland 1986, The University of Auckland Library holds the thesis and they do copy and post this (I presume they charge a fee, I don't know). [ if you get a copy of that let me know how you did it and I will put the details on this web page. I know it has been done.
