This paper holds a significant place in the Journal of Sailing Technology, as the very last publication of Prof. Masuyama, published posthumously, and co-authors by Dr. Ogihara. For many decades, Prof. Masuyama has been a very influential and respected member of the sailing yacht research community world-wide, holding the chairmanship of the Sailing Yacht Research Association of Japan for close to 20 years, and being involved with the Japanese America’s Cup Challenge. His expertise and academic research have impacted generations of researchers, and his work on high performance sails, sailing yachts and velocity prediction remains at the forefront of sailing technology. It is therefore with great honour that the Journal of Sailing Technology presents the very last insights of Prof. Masuyama into the sailing performance of the 470 Olympic class dinghy.
