Personally I like the idea of a soft wing sail, in fact I quite like Wharram's high gaff soft wing, or the double sided junk rig http://wingsail.neuralfuzz.com...
Elegant simplicity. Does it have a line to the top gaff to control twist? Would the top gaff act to some extent as an end plate? Much as I like the simplicity,...
The Dynawing introducers, called powerfoils are only intended on their fixed wing dynafoils for sailboard use. They are a fixed part of the wing sail. They...
... 50 ... Could this be overcome with slightly more clearance and graphite lubrication? They already go to 6 or 7m. They don't have to encapsulate the mast,...
I've had a close lok at the site. The boat certainly goes well but if you look closely at the picture of the ww side of the sail, it doesn't look very smooth....
Not sure I see the wing part on this boat. Soft wing sails are so hard to execute effectively on a sailboat, that there are no successful commercial...
I guess you could classify me as a mass lurker, I would prefer to think of myself as a patient man, more interested in construction and seeing a visonarry...

G'day, No idea if the price is correct or not, but it has been sitting there for 6 months, nobody looks like sailing it this year, so maybe. Give Brett a ...
I am starting to feel that it doesn't make much difference, though there is probably a bit of horses for courses. My suspicion that the course is probably...
The differences in rig are born out of different requirements from the boats in my opinion. The only thing these boats have in common is that they all use the...
G'day, There is noy much point having a wind mast without the boom rotating independantly. It is actually easier to build than locking them together. We do...
