Surface pressure intelligence for sails and wings

Measure sail performance where it actually happens.

SailMeter is a hardware and software platform able to measure the aerodynamic performance of hard or soft sails in real time.

Pressure distribution Measure surface pressure on single, multiple, hard, or soft sails.
On-water trim Quantify the impact of trim decisions while sailing.
R&D feedback Assess design changes with repeatable performance data.

Welcome to SailMeter

Full-scale aerodynamic measurement without losing sight of the boat.

SailMeter uses patent-pending technology to measure the surface pressure distribution on single, multiple, hard, or soft sails. It gives designers, sailors, and competitive programs a quantitative way to assess the impact of R&D efforts and on-the-water trim while keeping costs to a minimum.

Got a Wing?

Gain visibility into wing trim and performance.

Need visibility into the performance of your wing? SailMeter can help show how a program can immediately gain insight into the trim of a wing and connect that insight to measurable pressure data.

The same platform approach supports hardware capture, real-time display, stored sessions, and future analysis workflows for teams working with complex sail and wing surfaces.

Platform

Hardware and software built around real sailing data.

Modular sensing

Pressure sensors can be arranged along battens so programs can adapt the measurement setup to the sail and test plan.

Real-time display

Incoming pressure data can be recorded, displayed, and compared against historic or analytic performance.

Actionable trim

Analysis workflows can reduce pressure streams into useful feedback for sailors, designers, and support teams.
