There's nothing wrong with going wing & wing with an A-sail. It's only faster
to reach back & forth if you can make a significant gain by apparent wind
(which most sprit boats can).

Your sail looks (from what I can see of it) like it was cut more for reaching,
too. The head is relatively narrow & flat, which is nice in light air because
it doesn't fold inward & collapse as easily.



My neighbor was out on his H-28, looked like he was taking some pics but I
think he missed this.

You chased him under power? What do you mean, "he disappeared?" I hope you
don't mean sunk without a trace?!?
