	Sail Ship Sails
		Modern sails are designed such that the warp and the weft of the sailcloth are oriented parallel to the luff and foot of the sail.
		In modern times a sail is cut of the extreme size which is capable of being carried in fine weather, and when the wind increases in strength it is reefed -- part is gathered up and fastened by reef points, small cords attached to the sail.
		Outboard of the square sails might be set studdingsails [studding sail, studsail, stun's'l) -- a sail on a special spar, extended outboard of a square sail or sails, for added sail area in moderate winds.

	Sails
		This sail is a far cry from the cruising chutes sold by most sailmakers-- usually a spherical head with a fairly flat lower section--which is really symmetrical except for one corner (the clew) lifted higher.
		This sail is designed with each of its 30-plus panels individually shaped for its greatest depth forward, like a very full genoa, with its leading and trailing edges projected outward, instead of inverted.
		All full batten sails are fitted with hardware at the forward end to tension the batten and provide a universal joint with the mast slide.

		The better the cloth the longer lasting the sail is. Quantum has been working on the clear sails for a couple of years and have come out with a really cool product to sail with especially in team racing regattas.
		Collegiate sailing on the west coast in FJ's there is no option, for racing that is. You have to use North/Vangaurd.
		I sailed for a small college team and we definitly did not have money for extra sails or other extras that would be nice.

	Extra (sailing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In sailing, an extra is a sail that is not part of the working sail plan.
		Other extras include studding sails, the modern spanker (or tallboy), and some staysails and topsails.
		A race or division in which extras are not permitted is commonly called a non spinnaker, or no flying sails, race or division.

	North Sails One Design
		Sail assumes its designed shape instantly, resulting in rapid acceleration when tacking.
		The transparency of the sail is a tactical and safety advantage at starts, crossings and tight mark roundings.
		Rings at the corners the corners of the sail are optimized for minimum weight and sufficient strength.

	model ships that sail (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The use of cotton sails was not a new idea, but the sails that America went up against were mostly made of flax, flax had a practical advantage over cotton.
		Sailing ships raced in this era were reaching new heights, but it was still a matter of quantity, not quality sail area, when it comes to efficient foils.
		Large sails with long booms create a lot of turning moments, (remember the principals of leverage from school?) The further you are away from the end of a lever the more effort it takes to lift with the same result.

		Sails like these are common in the San Blas, and the fishermen were thrilled to be given new sailcloth with which they could work their wonders.
		The first sail that we gave away – to a fisherman who’d had sails so decrepit that it was hard to imagine why they didn’t just fall apart in the wind – was received with stunned awe.
		Sailing a gorgeous new white sail made by a BoatUS reader, these guys were happy as could be and were thrilled by how much faster their ulu would sail.

	Solar Powered
		In the 1970s, solar sail propulsion was considered for a proposed robotic mission to one of the most famous comets of all, Halley, which would be making its closest approach to Earth's vicinity in 1986.
		The sails themselves are composed of aluminized Mylar much thinner than plastic food wrap - a necessity since the pressure from the Sun's photons is no heavier than that of a postage stamp resting in the palm of your hand.
		Solar sails are quite slow in the initial phases of their flights: It would take Cosmos 1 over one year to reach the moon, while the manned Apollo missions using conventional rockets made it to Earth's natural satellite in just three days.

	illustrated square rigger terminology
		If there are two sails, and, therefore, two yards on the same mast, as was common in the late 19th century, they would be the upper or lower whatever.
		A boom is the horizontal spar at the bottom of a fore-and-aft sail that is not a staysail.
		A BARK has square sails on the fore and main masts and fore-and-aft sails on the mizzenmast unless it has four or more masts in which case only the aftermost mast is rigged for-and-aft.

	Statsraad Lehmkuhl, April, 1994
		Together we gathered the sail until the top edge was reached tucking the folds of the sail between you and the yard.
		Before this maneuvre, the sail was the primary handhold, and its destination was where you were pressed against the spar for balance.
		The two uppermost sails are not rigged in the spring since there are not enough experienced hands to bring in the extra sails, if a squall should hit.

	Tramp Trimaran
		A traveler for the main sail is mounted out of the way on top of the aft storage area.
		The rudder must be completely down for sailing, so it must have at least 18 inches of water to sail.
		Sailing to the windward in a 3-foot chop the bow could bury under a wave throwing buckets of water back into the cockpit.

	Ketch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A ketch is a sailing craft with two masts: a main mast, and a shorter mizzen mast abaft (rearward of) the main mast.
		Running before the wind or reaching across the wind, a ketch may carry extra sails such as a spinnaker on the main mast, and possibly a second smaller reaching set between the masts (mizzen staysail).
		In the case where both masts are approximately the same height, the rig with the larger sail forward is usually called a ketch, while the rig with the larger sail aft is a schooner.

	Worldsails Customer Testimonials
		Sails are very stable and adjust to conditions well with extra downhaul and outhaul.
		I started sailing the surge 2005,5.5 in about 18 knots really stable only had a bit of downhaul then the wind picked up to around 30ish just flattened the sail and it was not too over powering and VERY stable.
		I sail in a variety of conditions, flat water freestyle at West Dennis to gnarly surf at Bayview and Corporation, and clean waves at the Cut.

		It was the full-sized Pineapple sail that sped the Antrim over the most miles per day.
		And the smaller, flatter Pineapple reacher that was the sail of choice when the wind came up, allowing two crew to sleep with only a driver on deck.

	TP52s - Sailing Anarchy Forums
		The owner’s brief was always that he wished to have the most competitive TP52 in the world, but that it should also be capable of racing in IRC regattas and offshore.
		The Ballast, bulb position and sail requirements were all done to make her rate as a TP52.
		Another key factor has been the sail developement programs, for example after their first event Quantum/Lexus went back to the drawing board and showed a dramatic gain in downwind speed, enough so, to bring her up to 2nd overall for the series.

		For their length, catamarans can carry extra large sails aloft due to the wide, stable platform of the two hulls.
		More sail area to pick up the wind means more push, and any horsepower jockey knows that more push means more speed.
