Pavilion on the water

Pavilion Technologies has been selected as an official supplier to Emirates Team New Zealand to help in the quest to bring the America's Cup back to New Zealand in 2007.

The team's objective in using Pavilion software is to enhance the performance of their yachts by leveraging the software's model-based prediction capability. Mathematical models representing actual performance characteristics are created using the software. New information or changes in conditions can then be processed and a new end result predicted before it actually occurs ie, the software simulates potential outcomes. This allows the team to evaluate the viability of many more design options, reducing development time and cost.

The use of high technology by America's Cup syndicates is a crucial part of the game and Emirates Team New Zealand is leveraging some of the most powerful technology available today. Pavilion's software will be used extensively by the team for data collection and aggregation both onshore and onboard their America's Cup yachts and will be a key feature for the team during testing and regattas leading up to the actual challenge in 2007.

Software and engineering support will be provided out of Pavilion's Hamilton, NZ office. Pavilion's Brussels office will provide support during periods when the team is based in Spain.
