Competitive sailing programs
A performance edge in close competition gives a team a powerful advantage. Sails are the engine of a sailboat, and being able to tune and refine their design or trim them optimally through quantitative measurement can provide this advantage.
- Validate research efforts in sail design and sail shapes.
- Measure relative performance differences between sails.
- Measure and assess degradation of sail performance.
- Define optimal performance targets for each sail, sail combination, and weather condition.
- Provide quantitative onboard, real-time feedback for sail trim.
