An interactive sail-aerodynamics simulator shows how wind and sail trim affect airflow, forces, and boat speed.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-25 issue.
For
Sailing learners and boat-trim tinkerers
Worth noticing
Its flow guide compares luffing, attached flow, stall onset, and stall through suction, drag, and telltale behavior.

Field notes

The page pairs live force-and-speed readouts with explanatory panels for lift and drag, suction along the sail, drive against hull resistance, and a polar diagram. Controls include wind, trim, gusts, and four points of sail. The boat selector names the monohull as based on an Oceanis 40.1 class cruiser and the catamaran on a Lagoon 440 class cruising catamaran. The extracted evidence does not describe the model's assumptions or validation.
