Strong Wind, Flat Water Sailing - Photos
These are just some photos from testing today in gusty winds up to about 20 knots.
Consideration will be given to using an average roll angle (heel angle) as a control over the Wingsail Trim Tab angle as a means to de-power the sail in strong winds, in future updates.

This is part of the ongoing development of a low cost autonomous oceangoing sailing drones, utilising a self-trimming wingsail. This is the Voyager series of sailing drones.
