Here at SailingTips we know sailing performance is important to you, but there’s a performance-robbing culprit hiding in your sail bag! We can help. You can send us your overweight, podium-robbing toothbrush and we’ll take care of it. We’ll start by weighing the toothbrush to determine the performance impact it has been having on your program. We will call you for a detailed consultation. Are you a righty or lefty, scrubber or swirler. We will modify the toothbrush in our state-of-the-art facility, using only the finest tools and workmanship, and apply a European level of finish to that made-in-China toothbrush. We will weigh the toothbrush again to ensure it no longer robs you valuable seconds on the racecourse. We will inspect and comprehensively test the toothbrush to ensure it aligns with your brushing style. Finally we will package it up and send it back to you, and you can look forward to yellow pennants and podium glory!!!

UK Sailmakers uses very powerful 3-D CAD/CAM software for sail design, which create virtual 3-D molds that can be digitally sliced into two-dimensional panels that when joined back together re-create a full-size version of the designed mold. Thanks to powerful 3-D graphic renderings, designers can see how sail fit around the spreaders and shrouds as well as make sure the clew height and sheeting angles are right. They can also analyze how a main and genoa work together to make sure the boat stays balanced. What we are looking for is a sailplan and sail shapes that put the maximum driving force in precisely the right place to produce a perfectly balanced boat – and with the least amount of drag. Pat Considine, UK Sailmakers’ chief designer, goes a step further and uses Fluid Structural Interaction software, called FSI for short, as a virtual wind tunnel for refining sail designs and sail construction. FSI calculations are used to test proposed designs and cloth choices to make sure they are not built too strong (too heavy) or too weak (too light) for their expected loads. The FSI calculations will predict whether a design and construction will keep its shape properly as the rig bends, halyards are tightened and sheets are trimmed. Shown rotating in this video are two renderings of a Tripp 47 mainsail design. The side-by-side comparison shows the sail with no backstay tension and with max backstay trim. The FSI software allows Pat to rotate the two designs together to study their shape from any angle. In this case, Pat needed to be sure the draft would not move too far aft as the sail was flattened; likewise, he had to make sure the draft was not too far forward when the backstay was eased completely. The FSI program has made extremely accurate predictions of how specific sail designs will perform once made and trimmed in a variety of wind speeds. These tests ensure sails will meet the performance needs right out of the bag.
