At Solo Sails, we are always trying to keep ahead of the game, not only in terms of how we think, but also by utilizing the very latest in design and analysis software.
The following images are renders of some of our CFD (computational Fluid Dynamics) studies.
By leveraging the power of CFD computing, we can optimise our sail designs to perform at their optimum potential.
