Sail Design & Optimisation

We develop highly accurate and fast sail designs,
using AzureProject in-house.

SAIL DESIGN

  • We develop highly accurate and fast sail designs, using AzureProject in-house.
  • Our 3D visualisation tools allow users to accurately preview the exact fit of the sails on the rig.
  • Our highly experienced engineering team brings extensive know-how to the table.
  • Proven performance record – our sail designs have been successfully used in competitions all over the world.

 

 SAIL SHAPE OPTIMISATION

  • Using AzureProject, our team can:
    • evaluate the drive and side forces
    • calculate the flying sail shape
    • calculate stress distribution
  • Our advanced tools allow us to quickly iterate through design changes, and quickly reach the optimal solution.

 

DESIGN AND OPTIMISATION OF FIBRE LAYOUT

  • Our software allows us to evaluate:
    • the flying sail shape
    • stress values and directions for each layout
  • Based on the analysis results, our team can optimise the fibre layout. For instance, the team can reinforce highly stressed zones with additional fibres, and ensure that fiber trajectories match the stress directions.

“The new Rolly Tasker Genoa is now completed and on the way to Caribbean…To a very satisfied customer! Thank you and your team for the strong cooperation and good work!”

Sven Cornelius, Rolly Tasker Sails

“Good news! The F-27 sails that you reviewed last season have been working out great for my client. He just won one of our biggest local sailing events, the Swiftsure race. Thanks again for all your help reviewing my sail designs… it’s a team effort!

Eric Taylor, Taylor Sails
