Real-time onboard system
System on board — digitising sails in full deformation and streaming section analyses in real time.
From study to real time
Integration
The system relies on a LiDAR → computer → navigation display chain. Its protocol, compatible with any navigation system, integrates with the displays already aboard. Aboard, an onboard web interface on a rugged tablet also gives live access to the measurements.

Practical applications
Racing
Offshore · Regattas · Coaches
- Your sail shape in real time on the boat's electronics, whatever the navigation system.
- Reproduce a trim configuration and put your sensations in context.
- Analyse afterwards and conduct an objective debrief.
Automation
Shipowners · Superyachts · Wind propulsion
- The shape measured continuously, sent to the controller.
- Rams and electric winches trimmed on the real shape, with Madintec.
- Deformation tracked in operation.
First integration offered as a pilot project.

Sail lofts · Naval architects · Laboratories
- The data of an equipped boat, session after session, with the team's agreement.
- Compare sail designs and settings over a whole season.
- 3D shapes ready for your simulation tools.
Diagnostics are included: every outing measures the state of your sails.
Data in live
Each sail section is continuously characterised by indicators that follow sail-loft conventions (draft, camber, twist, sag…), available on your displays while sailing. Ashore, the team follows the same values live on the Sail Controls portal, then finds every session there at the debrief. The detailed grid is presented as part of commercial discussions.

Client portal
Your measurements, ashore
With the onboard system, the shore team follows the sail shape live, as soon as the boat has a network connection.
After sailing, every session is filed on your portal: its track, the wind, the sails flown and the markers set by the crew. You find a precise moment, compare it with another session, and download the 3D shape and the measured values.
Each team member has their own access; the owner decides what guests can see.
