PACT95, the coalition that designed the fastest American yacht in the 1995 America’s Cup race, Young America, chose TableCurve 2D to help optimize their design because it is the only software that, in seconds, searches through thousands of equations to describe difficult-to-model empirical data. Taking data samples from numerous sources, including wind tunnel tests, tank testing, and data from many other types of experiments, TableCurve® was able to convert vast amounts of empirical data into simplified curve fits. These algorithms were then input into a Velocity Prediction Program (VPP) that balances the equations of motion while looking for the fastest boat.
