Abstract

The reconstruction of the Serçe Limanı ship proposed a double-masted rig consisting of two sails with a total combined area of 100 m². That proposal considered provenance evidence and appraised hydrodynamic and hydrostatic conditions. The current paper proposes an alternative rig consisting of a single sail. By applying computational fluid analysis and hydrostatic stability software to evaluate hull resistance, sail propulsion, and heeling moments, it has been demonstrated that a sail of no less than 150 m² was suited to propel the Serçe Limanı. One of the two suitable alternative sails tested has been selected.
