Designing a wingsail for an F50 catamaran in the SailGP. It consists of a wing and a flap, each in 4 segments. Created the wing and flap profiles in the initial XY plane, then created 4 construction planes with new sketches, and copied the objects to each sketch. These were appropriately resized, positioned, and angled at 4°.
All 4 wing segments were then lofted, and the 2 lowest flap segments, as these have straight Leading and Trailing Edges. After some experimentation, I was able to create a curve on the XZ plane for the Trailing Edge of each of the top 2 flap segments, as the Rails for the Lofting.
However, I found that a spline had not "connected" to the required lower flap profile ("Profile Plane3"), and I cannot move it so it joins.
Hope I added my first Screencast OK. File is also attached. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
