Shape precision. In real time.

The real shape of your sails, measured by LiDAR while sailing.

Performance is no longer up for debate.It's measured.

Measured under sail

On-board LiDAR measures the whole sail: its complete 3D shape, ready to export to your tools, and the profile of each section with the values that define it.

  • Fitted model · .3dfileBacked by measurementExtrapolated by the model

    The whole sail, in 3D

    • Complete shape, from tack to head: the model carries the measurement on where the point cloud stops.
    • Positioned in the boat reference frame.
    • Exportable as 3D files, CFD-ready on request.

    A mainsail measured under sail: the model fitted by Sail Controls on one LiDAR frame.

  • A measured jib section: LiDAR points in white, fitted profile in green, chord dashed, with twist, camber and draft

    Every section, in figures

    The profile and its values within seconds on your boat's electronics, then at the debrief.

    A measured jib section: the LiDAR points (white), the profile fitted by Sail Controls (green) and its shape indicators.

Accuracy measured while sailing, under real load. And improving every season.

What we offer

Two services, both starting with a study of your boat.

Test campaign, research collaboration, pilot project: we build the framework with you.
