    I have written a program that uses the lifting-line method to calculate the sail forces for jib and mainsail. The trim parameters can be prescribed. It is possible to let the computer optimize the trim parameters to achieve the maximum driving force. The program can be downloaded here:

    I recommend that you first download and read the user's manual. Then you can decide, if this is for you, and you can download a zipped file with the executable.
