A full-scale experimental study on an instrumented sailing yacht is conducted to better assess the aero-elastic behaviour of the sails and rigging in downwind navigations. The downwind sail shape is a non-developable surface with high curvature leading to massive flow separation. In addition, spinnakers are thin and flexible sails leading to a strongly coupled Fluid-Structure Interaction. Due to the non-respect of some rules of similitude, the unsteady behaviour of downwind sails cannot be easily investigated with wind tunnel tests that would need comparison with full-scale experiments. Moreover unsteady numerical simulations modelling the aero-elastic behaviour of the sails and rigging require validations. An inboard instrumentation system...
