I changed the sailboat model with the rigid triangle sail to a rigid wing sail. For this, I changed the equations for the lift and drag coefficients to the matching expressions in the foil dynamics plugin. The used airfoil is a NACA0018 profile. As can be seen in the video in the zip file below the new model falls to the side when the wind comes from the side. I am trying to make this boat react as described in a typical polar diagram for a wing sail. Could anyone maybe help me with what the issue is in this case? Thank you in advance!
