Great Sails. No Proof.

A loft’s design team understands aero design. They run the CFD, they know the shape targets, they tune the build specs. The sails are excellent.

But the network that sells those sails is staffed by reps who know boats and customers — not the physics behind a planform decision. They’re selling technology they can’t quantify.

The customer buys on faith. They trust the brand, they trust the rep, but the conversation never gets past “this sail is faster.” No data. No conditions. No comparison.

Calibrate Once. Equip the Network.

Your design team calibrates how SailEdge represents your sails on top of the live boat model built on the R16 DSYHS calm-water backbone with bounded follow-on lanes. They tune bounded sail-side behavior, set planform geometry, and validate against on-water testing data. That calibration becomes a governed Sail Tuning Profile.

Ship the file to every office in the network. Any sales rep loads it, drops in a customer’s ORC certificate, and the Edge Map (the performance delta grid — every sail measured against your boat’s ORC polar at every wind speed and angle) lights up — calibrated to your sails on that customer’s hull. The design team’s knowledge scales to every office.

1. Design Team Calibrates

Your engineers tune the sail-side model to match your sails. On-water testing data sets the target.

2. Files Ship to the Network

Sail Tuning Profile — portable, versioned, ready for every office. One calibration serves the fleet.

3. Rep Loads the Customer’s Boat

Drop in the ORC certificate, import the calibration. Edge Map in minutes. No physics expertise needed.

4. Customer Sees the Evidence

Quantified sail comparison, built on your engineering. Whole-boat outcome included. Attached to the quote. Ready to load.

Step 1

The Engineer Calibrates

Start with a test boat — one your team knows well. Load the ORC certificate, open the baseline Edge Map, and compare against on-water testing data. Then open Sail Tuning and adjust the bounded sail-side parameters until the model matches your sails’ known behavior.

Per-sail force attribution is the validation metric. When the model’s force breakdown matches what testing showed, the calibration is locked.

Step 2

Save and Distribute

Save the calibration as a Sail Tuning Profile — your loft’s IP, portable and versioned. Load a second boat. Import the same profile. If the Edge Map improves across platforms, the calibration generalizes — it’s not boat-specific.

Per-sail physics fingerprints package your recommended tuning for specific racing conditions. Provenance traceability records who calibrated, when, and against what test data.

Step 3

The Rep and the Customer

The rep loads a customer’s ORC certificate, imports the calibration profile, and runs a virtual sail: your loft’s planform geometry and aero characterization, fitted to the customer’s rig.

Planform physics matter here. A square-top main shifts the CE height and changes the depower curve — effects that depend on the rig geometry and stability (the boat’s righting behavior — rated on the certificate, then computed by the R16 stability layer for each sailing state) of each specific hull. The model resolves those interactions automatically.

IP protection is built in. The physics computes server-side. Your protected tuning and implementation never reach the browser. Crew weight explainability is visible to your customers at the subscriber tier (the tier a SailEdge license unlocks — your own certificate and the physics it earns) — the RM supplement travels with the analysis, no Expert Mode required.

Hull selection now improves the starting point before sail tuning begins. A better reference hull means a more trustworthy Edge Map from the first study.

Step 4

The Seasonal Cycle

New season, updated calibration. Your customers re-import the latest profile and their Edge Maps reflect your newest data. The relationship compounds — every cycle deepens the connection between your engineering and their results.

You calibrate sails one boat at a time. FleetEdge™ by SailrScience shows you the fleet.

What you ship

Two artifacts. One workflow.

Sail Tuning Profile

Your design team’s sail-side characterization — planform geometry, bounded tuning, and construction insight evaluated against on-water test data. One profile serves every hull you support.

Boat JSON

What your customer receives: their rig, hull, and stability data with a virtual sail built from your design team’s aero characterization. Structured and ready to load.

One file you keep. One file they get. And the crossover chart your customer tapes to the coaming was computed with your sails’ fingerprint.

Your Calibration Doesn’t Work Alone

Your sail tuning overlays a naval architect’s hull validation. When the hull physics are right and the aero calibration is right, the Edge Map converges across the full wind range. That’s the result your customer sees.
