Discover how our technology is revolutionizing safety and ease of use on sailboats.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It measures wind, trim, and load on the sheets several times per second and adjusts the mainsail and jib in real time\u2014using a state machine that sequences each maneuver and stops automatically if anything exceeds safety limits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How It Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The strategic decision (which trim to use) is separate from the physical coordination (how and when to move the engines). This separation is what makes the system predictable and verifiable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

INPUT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sensors<\/strong> An anemometer, GPS, IMU, compass, and load cells measure the boat's actual status at a rate of 5\u201310 Hz.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

ESTIMATE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Data Merge<\/strong> The raw data is transformed into a coherent picture: true wind, trim, estimated speed, with isolated gusts filtered out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

DECISION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

COORDINATION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

State Machine<\/strong> Every operation is a verified sequence: preconditions, order of operations, safety checks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

EXECUTION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Actuators<\/strong> The winch, jib furler, and mainsail furler operate with continuous position and load feedback.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Sensors<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Every decision is based on a fact, never on an assumption<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Actual load<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Load cells on the main sheets: the data that stops a winch before excessive tension damages the sail or rigging.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Technical Specifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Electric\/Hydraulic Winches<\/strong> Mainsail and genoa, with position encoders and a load cell integrated into the sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rope winder \/ cart<\/strong> Integrated mainsail control, with automatic adjustment based on wind speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onboard Control Unit<\/strong> It integrates sensors, the trim planner, and the coordinator; it reports the status via the CAN bus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Security<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Automation stops. Always, first and foremost. The safety layer is independent of the planner: it does not optimize the trim; it only verifies that every action remains within known limits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Load Thresholds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every winch knows the maximum load its line can handle and stops before exceeding it, regardless of the command received.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Emergency Stop<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A physical button cuts off power to the motors at the hardware level, downstream of and independent of the software.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Manual control always active<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Manual override is not an alternative mode: it takes hardware priority over any automatic command.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Guards on every transition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yaw, load, and actuator status are checked before each individual state transition, not just at the start of the maneuver.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
