About Sailboat Performance

Sailboat Performance helps sailors compare designs, understand the trade-offs behind speed, and test changes with free data-driven tools.

Our mission is to make sailing more accessible, enjoyable, and efficient by providing the data needed to make informed decisions.

How the project works

Transparent evidence: Boat pages distinguish published specifications, calculated ratios, and estimated performance.
Practical decisions: Comparisons and tools focus on real design, purchase-shortlist, and passage-planning questions.
Open methodology: Model outputs are estimates—not certified handicaps or user reviews—and their basis is documented.

Corrections, source material, research feedback, and collaboration ideas are welcome.
