📖 Introduction

This is an interactive 3D sailboat simulator designed to help users understand how sail trim affects boat balance and performance. Using simplified aerodynamic models and visual tools, users can adjust sail twist, draft and boom angle to observe how the sail’s Center of Effort (CE) moves in relation to the boat’s Center of Lateral Resistance (CLR).

🔧 Key Features

• Adjustable sail parameters: Twist, Draft, Boom Angle
• Real-time visualization of CE movement
• Wind direction and force vectors displayed
• Ideal for beginners and educational use

🎯 Purpose

• Learn basic sailing physics
• Understand how sail configuration affects control
• Use as a teaching aid or self-learning resource
