Sail analysis software?

[cameronke]

I have heard of software available that is able to analyse the trim of a sail from a digital photograph (focus on camber lines I believe). Does anyone know of this?

What you are after is something like <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.uksailmakers.com/accumeasuredl.asp>this</A>.

The one I've pointed you to is from UK Sailmakers (thats nothing to do with United Kindom, but rather Ultimate Kinetics) who have British lofts at Hamble and Cowes.

I've used the software (and others) to good effect - the detail is useful when liaising with sailmakers about recuts or new sails (although recuts are to all intents and purposes impossible on modern racing sails).

Thanks Qsiv
That looks superb!

Methinks a laptop is required for the chart table
