design optimisation tool

What can we do for you ?

  • Foil design and hydrodynamic appendages

  • Velocity prediction

  • Load distributions

  • Overall project optimisations

How can we do it ?

  • Grumpy, the heart of our performance prediction tool, developed over two years, is able to produce accurate and efficient force estimates for any given hydrodynamic appendage

  • Our VPP leverages the estimates for hydro and aero forces to produce a time evolution simulation of the vessel in the water. Control algorithms ensure that every control system is optimised to achieve the highest speed.

  • We rely on a wide and established network in the maritime and nautical field to provide our clients with a high quality and complete service. Some of our collaborators include A, B C, ecc

  • Our experience in the fields of racing and cruising yachts demonstrates our ability to develop high-performance, reliable solutions tailored to the highest standards of modern sailing.

Previous projects

Our six-degree-of-freedom Velocity Prediction Program (6-DOF VPP) was validated on our Mini Nicomatic and benchmarked against real data collected in full foiling conditions.
