High Performance & Racing

Proven Performance Under Race Pressure

Our CFD and foil designs have delivered world-class performance at the highest level.

The Challenge
We Solve

Margins of victory measured in fractions of a knot.

Stability and manoeuvrability of foils at high speeds.

Structural load reliability under extreme race conditions.

Integration of aero and hydro performance.

How We Do It

CFD optimisation of foils, hulls and appendages.

Aero-hydro coupling for accurate race simulations.

Structural validation for extreme loads and fatigue.

Data-driven feedback loop from racing campaigns.
