I have written a new update for my VPP UliSail_3.8. It calculates the equilibrium for all 6 degrees of freedom (DOF). The negative impact on speed of a badly balanced boat is clearly visible. You can also investigate now the impact of mast rake and of different rudder arrangements, like single rudder, twin rudders and twin rudders with the windward rudder lifted out of the water. A transom hung rudder is also possible. The software is not only a velocity prediction program (VPP) but also an optimizer for the sail trim. The optimal trim will be different for different geometries of sails or hull.
You can download the software from my website: Velocity Prediction Program (VPP) UliSpeed for 6 DOF https://www.remmlinger.com/UliSpeed.html
Have fun
