SSPA is providing tests on the rowing boat together with measuring the performance of the rower. This is the first time SSPA is carrying out combined tests in the towing tank on both the rowing boat and the rower.

How to sail an Olympic Laser class dinghy - towing tank tests
The Laser dinghy is a strict one-design Olympic class and very few, if any, alterations are allowed. So what can be done in a towing tank to provide new insights for sailors?
SSPA supports the Sports & Technology initiative
During Volvo Ocean Race in Gothenburg, Chalmers showed an exhibition with unique optimist dinghies in the "Race Village". This was a result from research projects where students made the calculations needed to construct the dinghies in eight different materials. SPPA supported and helped building the dinghies.
