ABSTRACT:
An improved sail (20) is attached along its luff portion to a mast (26). A pair of control battens (34) extend across the sail (20). A forward camber control handle (36) attaches to the mast (26) and an aft camber control handle (44) secures to the sail (20) aft of the sail center of effort such that rotation of the forward handle (36) relative to the aft handle (44) effects bending of the control battens (34). The forward and aft control handles (36, 44) allow the sailor to alter and control sail camber instantaneously for various sailing objectives without removing hands from the handles (36, 44), while also allowing the alignment of sailor body mass with the sail system center of effort during wave jumping.
