SailEdge™ is live. The product line is R9.x; the physics engine rides its own
release track and currently runs R14 — with explainability, partner-workflow
upgrades, and account, business tools, and fleet workflows ahead.
Last updated: July 2026. The ports on this chart are product milestones (R7–R13). The physics engine is versioned on its own track and currently runs release R14 — physics releases ship inside product releases, not as ports of their own.
Development Timeline
The full roadmap
Q4 2025
R7 — Physics Foundation Done
Core physics engine. 20-boat validation fleet. Dual polar architecture. Full extraction pipeline from ORC certificates. The foundation is solid.
Q1 2026
R8 — Interactive Explorer Done
The sail plan explorer. Select configurations, see performance surfaces, understand trade-offs visually. Physics meets interface.
Q1 2026
R9 — SailEdge Live
Upload your ORC certificate and your Digital Twin builds itself in seconds. The live SailEdge line runs the R14 physics release: a DSYHS runtime hydro backbone (52 IGES-derived Delft-series reference hulls) with bounded follow-on lanes, per-sail force attribution, whole-boat outcome, bounded professional tuning surfaces, and role-centered workflows for lofts and naval architects. From the cockpit to the kitchen table, your edge travels with you.
Racers
Upload your certificate, pick your sails, change your crew weight, see your edge. Self-service Sail Studies and pre-loaded regime packs let you compare configurations in minutes.
Expert Mode with Sail Tuning — bounded per-sail tuning, sailmaker overlay profiles, and per-sail physics fingerprints. The Sail Tuning Library that persists and distributes them to your fleet arrives with accounts at R10.
Expert Mode with Boat Tuning — review the live R14 runtime hydro and save a portable NA profile. Boat Tuning Libraries that propagate your calibration to every boat in the class arrive at R10.
The exact delta in knots — by wind angle, across the full range. Foil-aware aero. Per-sail drive breakdowns. Whole-boat outcome. Confidence indicators on every cell.
What’s Live
Combined configurations like a staysail under an asymmetric, modeled together. Pick a pre-built Sail Study or build your own comparison.

Expert Mode for sail lofts and naval architects
Per-sail physics fingerprints and named tuning profiles
Whole-boat outcome and wave-lane disclosure
Tiered access — every user gets the right level of physics
Optimal Map — first of its kind — up to 18.4M calculations depending on the size of your sail wardrobe
Crew weight what-if at Tier 1
Delft Hull Shape Picker with cross sections
Delft RM Stability Profile for form vs ballast tuning
Sign in, save your boat, and pick up where you left off. One SailrScience account carries per-product entitlements — your access tier travels with you, and partner organizations hold entitlements their members inherit. Save your configurations and sail inventory across sessions. Server-side Sail Tuning Libraries let lofts persist named tuning profiles and distribute them to their fleet. Boat Tuning Libraries give naval architects the same — hull calibrations that persist and propagate to every boat in the class. Partner portals with dedicated secure servers and calibration history under NDA.
Q3–Q4 2026
R11 — Business Tools Planned
API access and white-label integration for lofts running Edge Maps under their own brand. Calibration campaigns with audit trails let lofts run repeatable tuning cycles tied to real conditions. Export and report templates turn Edge Map results into client-ready deliverables. SailEdge™ by SailrScience powers the physics — you own the relationship. Learn about loft partnerships →
The live R14 physics release closes the physics foundation: every boat loads from a
certificate, every partner owns their calibration, every analysis is reproducible, the
runtime carries a DSYHS hydro backbone with bounded follow-on lanes, and a Tier 1
crew weight what-if puts stability analysis in every subscriber’s hands.
2026 — Now
FleetEdge™ — Fleet Analytics Live
FleetEdge™ is live — fleet-wide analytics built from ORC and IRC certificate physics. 9,591 ORC boats scored (11,207 analyzed, July 2026), 11 performance archetypes, nine dimension families across 20+ nations. Filter by nation, event, class, or rating system. Built on patent-pending physics. Explore FleetEdge →

R13 — The Connected Digital Twin Exploring
Expanding from certificate-based intelligence into a connected ecosystem — where your ORC baseline, your sail inventory, and your on-water telemetry work together. We’re exploring integrations with navigation and logbook platforms (e.g., Orca), weather and data hubs (e.g., PredictWind DataHub), and racing instrument stacks (e.g., B&G, Raymarine). The goal: bring real sailing data into the twin, keep onboard systems consistent with your Edge Map, and build a trusted baseline that grows beyond ORC as reputable data sources become available.
Roadmap items are directional and may change as we validate data availability and integration pathways.
