SailScan reads your sail shape in the field and in real time.

From photograph to performance

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.

SailScan camera and draft stripe capture

Take a photo with your phone and our computer vision model gets to work.

Read and measure

02
SailScan measured sail report

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
SailScan comparison of port and starboard scans

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.
