Several research efforts are in progress to find an alternative efficient powering method to reduce this pollution. This work is an effort towards finding such an alternative where the ship is propelled by an efficient sail propulsion system. Numerical methods are used to arrive at the best sail shape and configuration which would give maximum forward thrust with optimal lateral thrust. For this, on a candidate ship taken; oil tanker with different number of sails, sail dimensions, and sail forms were analysed by numerical methods, using Computational Fluid Dynamics. The power requirement of the ship for different speeds up to 12 knots was analysed using the commercial software, Ansys Fluent. The Resistance Vs Speed curve was plotted for this ship. Air flow over NACA 0018 aerofoil section was simulated using Ansys Fluent. The CFD results were verified with experimental analysis results. The NACA0018 aerofoil sail form was
