SailScan reads your sail shape in the field and in real time.
Reads any sail from an optimist to a super maxi — Mainsails and headsails — Port or starboard tack.
Use your mobile phone to analyze draft stripes for accurate camber, draft, entry, exit and twist data.
Read and measure
02
SailScan finds each draft stripe and traces the curve from luff to leach to compute sail shape parameters such as Camber (depth), Draft (position of max depth), and Twist (angle relative to the boom).
Adjust and record
03
Make adjustments in real time. Save scans for later debrief, comparison, or reuse the same settings to increase sail speed and efficiency.
For lofts. For coaches. For teams.
Welcome computer vision aboard
The SailScan VLM platform can be customized for your company, team, or coaching needs. Embed a powerful sail scanning and recommendation engine with outputs for sail design, team coaching, and recording into your workflow.
Built on time at sea
Experience, in every measurement.
SailScan LLC was founded by veteran racing professional Alex Higby to compute key aerodynamic metrics and make recommendations to optimize sail performance in the field. Alex has competed in the 34th America’s Cup, the 52 Super Series and the Extreme Sailing Series.
SailScan is built and maintained in San Francisco, CA by Seamaphore.
