Abstract
Ship handling simulator have been widely utilized for assessing maneuvering safety of ship. However it is hard to find out the reports on simulator about sail equipped motor vessel. In this report, we develope a 2 dimension bird's-eye view simulator of the above type vessel using personal computer and the evaluation of the manoeuvring ability is also presented. The obtained results are summarized as follows. (1) The results by simulator are realistic and very similar to the real ship motions. (2) The sail assisted effect for ship handling appears clearly as follows. (1) Tactical diameter and stopping distance become smaller than those of normal vessel. (2) The sails can be used for a side thruster. (3) Maintaining ship's position in a limited area and keeping the ship's head become possible by sail operation at sea.
