Abstract
Sail cutting is presently a trial and error procedure, as performed by most manufacturers. In this paper, a first approach to computer aided sail pattern drawing is presented. To derive the aerodynamic sections of sails circle interpolations are used, and subsequent refinements are allowed because the development and the resulting implementation are highly modular.
