ABSTRACT:
A flex wing apparatus comprising a support, a mast coupled to the support and a sail. Battens are carried by the sail, and a coupling arrangement joins the leading edge of the battens to the mast so that the sail and battens can pivot about the mast. The battens can be resiliently deformed varying magnitudes to induce the desired camber into the battens and the sail. The coupling arrangement includes couplings each of which includes a collar and a pair of resilient legs.
