ABSTRACT:
This invention is an improved sail which uses wedge-shaped panels on the luff with warp threads running the length of the wedges. By properly proportioning the wedges, luff tension is distributed through the centroid of the jib triangle and thus controls draft position and leading edge flatness. The result is a broader wind range sail with longer optimum performance life.
