The solar boat project at the Kanazawa Institute of Technology (KIT) was started in 1991 as a student research theme. From 1995, a fully submerged hydrofoil system has been installed for the solar boat in order to reduce wave making resistance of the hull. The performance of the solar boat was affected by factors such as the performance of the propellers, drive system, and the hull resistance. Several tests and experiments were performed understand these factors clearly. Two-bladed propellers were designed. A testing apparatus for the propeller was constructed and measured the propeller performance on the sea. Hull resistance with the hydrofoil wa s measured in a towing test on the sea. Boat speed was estimated by using the data of propeller performance and the hull resistance. The estimated values were showed as a good comparison to the characteristics of the actual solar boat. The results of these tests were used for designing an optimum solar boat.
