Some Thoughts about the Future of Sailing

Abstract from the year 2016 in the subject Engineering - Naval Engineering, Ocean Engineering, , course: Bionic Engineering, language: English, abstract: Bionics analyses phenomena in nature to derive technical solutions for the future. Especially with the fluidic creatures, animals and plants that live in the water or flying through the air, in the millions of years of biological evolution the nature had deep look into the bag of tricks of physical effects. In fluidics, it depends on smallest amounts of energy, the efficiencies must be high, the losses small and it is an absolute lightweight hip. That's also in sailing that way.

Michael Dienst lives and works in Berlin and is sailing for the Club Nautique Francais de Tegel (CNFT). He is spokesman at the BIONIC RESEARCH Unit at the University of Applied Sciences Berlin and lecturer for Bionic Engineering at the Industrial Design Institute of the University of Applied Sciences in Magdeburg.
