Jax,
How much have you studied the response of sails?
By studied, I mean with real data from instruments calibrated to
accepted standards and in standardized conditons.
If not Bernoulli, Then perhaps you will explain to the readers how the
Kutta-Zhukovsky Theorem can explain everything without assistance of the
equations set out by Daniel Beroulli. Or, did you have something else
in mind?

no, you won't. wings/sails do not have lift because of "Bernoulli" inspite
of
the fact you can read such in thousands of kiddie books.
