Abstract

This thesis encompasses several critical components: a comprehensive introduction providing an overview of the research, the Course Algorithm developed under Nicholas's guidance, and the IO panel designed. Additionally, it includes the introduction and testing of various electronics, followed by an in-depth discussion of the motor control system optimization, demonstrating work on transmission system optimization. Building upon this optimization, the power system is also optimized to support the sailboat's operation. Moreover, a series of finished testing is included with the resultant analysis. By addressing these key areas, the thesis aims to provide an analysis of the research conducted, highlighting significant contributions to the sailboat's hardware application and component design.
