SAIL TECHNOLOGY
Polar Optimized Sails
Software
We
are very proud of the results we are achieving with
the Polar Optimized Sails Software. This software
allows the sail designer to treat the sail as a
subsystem of the boat. Our sail designers look at
the hull performance, the keel's drag/lift coefficients,
and other velocity prediction information to optimize
the sail to the boat.
We are not the only ones seeing increased performance
out on the race course; sailors, both performance
cruisers and racers, and other sail makers are
seeing this performance too.
We are now designing sails for 11 lofts nationwide
using this technology. We have also been asked
by a major loft to sell them this technology...
I think not...but we thank them for the ego boost.
