Polar
Optimized Sails Software
We
are very proud of the results we are achieving with the
Polar Optimized SailsSoftware. 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 dagger boards and foils' drag/lift coefficients, and
other velocity prediction information to optimize the
sail to the boat. This has lead to the development of
the Black Cat Spinnaker.
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.
