Physics-based kiteboarding performance analysis.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized physics-based tools for kiteboarders to analyze their sailing performance. By calculating the relationship between wind, board velocity, and rider proficiency, it helps determine the most efficient paths. Use getMaxUpwindAngle to find the tightest possible sailing angle, calculateVmgOptimization to maximize progress toward the wind, analyzeTackEfficiency to evaluate maneuver performance, and getEnvironmentalImpactReport to understand how current and waves degrade performance.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

analyzeTackEfficiency

Evaluates how much performance is lost during a turn (tack) based on environmental and skill factors

calculateVmgOptimization

Finds the optimal heading to maximize progress toward the wind

getEnvironmentalImpactReport

Provides a summary of how current and waves specifically degrade the achievable sailing performance

getMaxUpwindAngle

Determines the tightest possible angle a rider can sail relative to the true wind

See how to talk to your AI agent using Upwind Angle Calculation.

What is my maximum upwind angle with a 15 m/s wind, 0.8 kite efficiency, 12 m/s board speed, and 1.0 skill?

Your maximum upwind angle is 42.5 degrees with a VMG of 8.8 m/s.

How much will a 2 m/s current and 0.5 wave drag affect my sailing?

The environmental impact includes an angle degradation of 4.2 degrees and a speed reduction of 1.1 m/s.

Calculate the optimal heading for 10 m/s wind and 10 m/s board speed with 0.85 efficiency and 1.1 skill.

The optimal angle is 38.2 degrees, resulting in a peak VMG of 7.6 m/s.

You can use `getMaxUpwindAngle` to determine your minimum angle and then use `calculateVmgOptimization` to find the heading that provides the best progress toward your destination.
