Volvo Ocean Race – Seakeeping Finally, a set of seakeeping simulations are performed to investigate the dynamic behavior of the final candidate hulls. These simulations ascertain that what is good in calm water does not become detrimental in waves. Due to the nature of these time consuming simulations, only regular waves are usually considered. To analyze a
