SailMaker takes advantage of the Macintosh's superior user environment, allowing a sail designer to become an efficient user in a matter of hours, without requiring any keyboard skills.
Unlike the confusing 'numbers based' systems, SailMaker consistently presents you with your choice of clear, accurate graphical displays to design your sail shapes by use of the mouse. Virtually unlimited numbers of shaping chords and precise digital information is always shown, giving you complete design control. Chords may be elliptical in shape and most importantly they incorporate 'twist'.
Existing successful designs may be rescaled by simply altering the luff, leech and foot or LP dimensions. Then alterations made to edge shaping, battens and production card. Full details may be printed at any time.
Positions of battens, windows and even detailing like telltales and camber stripes may be determined.
SailMaker is supplied with several well proven sample sail designs and full support from Sails Science
Once you have achieved the desired mould shape the next phase is panel development. Within SailMaker there are many different standard configurations of panel layout available. You choose material, seam and panel widths as appropriate then SailMaker accurately and swiftly develops the individually shaped 2D panels.
