This report presents the results of the test programme performed on the sailing yacht model C.2515 (TH55A), 1:3 scale, of the America's Cup Class (ACC), in order to determine hydrodynamic characteristics in calm water towing conditions. The model belongs to a group of model hulls tested to evaluate some new yacht designs of Luna Rossa Challenge for the America's Cup 2007. The model is fitted with the standard appendages. The experimental technique used is the so called partially restrained model. The model is free to heave and pitch. The test programme includes Appended Upright Tests, Heeled Unyawed Tests, Appended Heeled and Yawed Tests.
