Abstract
The dynamics of a catamaran with a Savonius rotor and a propeller installed on it is considered. Under the action of a stationary wind flow the rotor rotates and transmit it to the the propeller, which creates thrust. As a control, the angle of the catamaran’s course relative to the wind flow is considered. The control task is to move the center of the masses of the hull from the starting point to a given endpoint located strictly upstream of the wind. The possibility of straight motion against the wind is shown. The dependence of the averege velocity in the stationary mode of movement against the wind on the radii of the Savonius rotor and propeller is analyzed.
