	BBC - h2g2 - Sailing Ship Terminology
		Sailing ships are, at first glance, one of the most insanely complicated objects the human race was able to devise until the advent of the computer.
		Square sails are usually attached to something else along the top and bottom, with the ‘side edges’ being unsecured, whereas fore-and-aft sails are generally triangular-ish in shape and are usually attached to something else along one edge, ie up and down.
		Sails have a tendency to collapse in bundles on the deck, or blow away, if simply left to their own devices and so sticks of wood (or metal) are used to help them hold their shape.

	Halfbakery: Atmosphere-going sailing ship
		If there was some way to visualize the turbulence on the top of the atmosphere, from a ship like this, it might be possible to surf it very efficiently, since the turbulent whorls would be moving much more slowly than the turbulence in water.
		The way solar sails work (theoretically) is through very slight pressure being imparted upon the sail causing a cumulative build up of speed over a period of time.
		Also, unless the sail was traveling at orbital velocity, not matter how light it is, it would be pulled back down to earth by gravity unless the ship was holding it up with some kind of mast long enough to keep it out of the atmosphere which sounds pretty heavy.
