I'd have to agree with Labatt... damn that is ugly... btw, in heavy weather, how do you reef rigid wing sails.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Nah, that just shows what could happen if you don't reef 'em. If the guy was smart enough to write a program to optimize sailing performance, he mad a way to reef those wings... right? Not bloody likely. Reminds me of what happened to Macquarie Innovation's wing sail on one of the record attempts.
