The NYYC American Magic team used Altair RapidMiner and Knowledge Studio to gain a competitive edge in the 37th America’s Cup. Strict rules limited physical testing, making data analytics critical for performance optimization. The team analyzed vast datasets from simulations and on-water sensors to identify key performance drivers. Machine learning reduced input variables from over 3,000 to just 32 while maintaining predictive accuracy. The resulting models informed yacht setup, maneuver optimization, and simulator benchmarks. Altair’s analytics tools enabled faster insight generation, improved decision-making, and supported American Magic’s pursuit of elite sailing performance.
