Project 8 : Racing Yacht Sail Control System

You are a team of engineers designed to develop a sail control system for a racing yacht. This system is designed to ensure the optimum sail settings for given weather conditions. Thus the position of the wind relative to the desired sailing direction will determine the positioning of the sail while the wind strength and the loading of the mast will determine the amount of sail put out as excessive sail in strong winds can lead to snapped masts.

It costs £14.99 per item, so is relatively cheap.
