VPP
Velocity Prediction Program
A
Velocity Prediction Program
(or VPP) is a computer program which balances the sail
thrust against the hull drag; the sail sideforce against
the appendage sideforce and the heeling moment against the
hull and crew righting moment in order to predict the yacht
speed for a given true wind speed and course. These results
are normally presented in a series of polar graphs as shown
here.
At
Dibley Marine,
we employ
VPP
and other performance predictive technologies to ensure our
hull forms achieve the highest potential performance and
sea-keeping qualities allowable within the remit of the
