Abstract

This paper provides a new scheme to improve the sailing distance and working time of the autonomous sailboat. The main part of the article introduces a new design of sail tug which can carry more batteries that provides more power for control system, enabling sailboats to sail longer in both time and distance. The modified sail tug was tested at an advanced test site equipped with high precision infrared motion capture system. The air curtain machines in test site can produce constant wind field, to drive sailboat steadily. Comparative experiments have been conducted to show the advantages of self-supporting ability of autonomous sail tug over ordinary autonomous sailboat.
