  2. Velocity prediction program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_prediction_program

    A velocity prediction program (VPP) is a computer program which solves for the performance of a sailing yacht in various wind conditions by balancing hull and sail forces. VPPs are used by yacht designers, boat builders, model testers, sailors, sailmakers, also America's Cup teams, to predict the performance of a sailboat before it has been built or prior to major modifications.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sail

    A sail is a tensile structure, which is made from fabric or other membrane materials, that uses wind power to propel sailing craft, including sailing ships, sailboats, windsurfers, ice boats, and even sail-powered land vehicles. Sails may be made from a combination of woven materials—including canvas or polyester cloth, laminated membranes or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forces_on_sails

    Integrated over the sailing craft, the total aerodynamic force (F T) is located at the centre of effort (CE), which is a function of the design and adjustment of the sails on a sailing craft. Similarly, the total hydrodynamic force ( F l ) is located at the centre of lateral resistance ( CLR ), which is a function of the design of the hull and ...
