Abstract :
In the sailboard sports, the selection of sailing-route is the most important issue in upwind sailing, the best principle of selecting the sailing route is to regard the shortest sailing-time as a target function, the calculation of the optimal route bases on the results of VPP. By calculating, the conclusion of the optimal wind-angles (phi1 - phi2) being 45deg~44.5deg was drawn, and also the maximal boat-velocities and the optimal attack angles of the sail were calculated in this paper, which could offer some gist for athletes selecting sailing route and adjusting the sail in sailboard game.
