Sensitivity Analysis of Optimal Sailing Angle in Racing Boats

As a seasoned sailor, Jiana worked on a research project investigating how sails can be optimised. This project analyzes how varying the priority between speed and stability affects the optimal True Wind Angle (TWA) for a racing boat. By studying the boat’s interaction with wind and adjusting TWA, the research explores performance trade-offs and helps identify angles that maximize efficiency based on race conditions and goals.
