Pressure data for teams that need better sail decisions.

SailMeter supports design validation, onboard trim, sailmaker services, club-racing feedback, and commercial control systems.

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.

Sailmakers

Differentiate your sails and service from the competition.

Demonstrate to your clients how much your changes have improved their sail's performance.

Help your clients understand the key performance factors in your sail.

Leverage experts within your franchise to develop a new Analysis Engine for your market, then use it as a new revenue stream.

Club racers

The racing community runs the gamut from small yachts through to maxis and beyond. The SailMeter platform can scale to meet the needs of each of these racers.

The advantage SailMeter gives the club racer is:

  • The data analysis engine in the SailMeter application.
  • The reduced hardware requirement and reduced cost.

The application encapsulates the cumulative knowledge of expert teams in the Analysis Engine, applying many hours of R&D directly to current sails and conditions.

Commercial

Real-time inputs for large sail surfaces.

Effective control of large sail surfaces requires inputs that reflect current sail performance and integrate with other real-time control systems onboard.

Manually controlled sail management systems suffer from latency and from an inability to integrate automatically with other onboard systems. SailMeter offers the ability to automate the trim of large and complex sail systems, providing a greater level of control, efficiency, and safety.
