In this paper, multi-disciplinary optimization techniques are applied to sail design. Two different mathematical models, providing the solution of the fluid-dynamic and the structural problems governing the behaviour of a complete sailplan, are coupled in a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) scheme, in order to determine the real flying shape of the sails and the forces acting on them. A numerical optimization algorithm is then applied, optimizing the structural pattern of the sailplan in order to maximize the driving force or other significant quantities.
