I'm interested in radio-controlled racing yachts, in particular the International One Metre (IOM) class and the International (now "Classic") A class. This site is aimed at technical and theoretical aspects of RC yacht racing. In particular, it has a number of spreadsheets to download. Although aimed at the IOM, they should be useful for any non-rotating fractional Bermuda sloop rig.
