I am not suggsting that the sailforce comes from the windward side alone,
The leeward side is also very effective in deflecting the wind.
(Actually I suggest the leeward side is a little more important, because
there is more air on the leeward, because it has been sucked to the leeward
side.)
again, this is on my website under www.sailtheory.com/sail.html

Under PIMs scenario there would be no tip
vortex.

I explain tipvortex!

Again you suggest I wrote things I have never wrote.
please read my site a little more thoroughly,
before you commment its contents wrongly.

Best regards,
