Default lanteen sails

Frogwatch,

Before you cut off those Lateen Booms, thinks a bit. The Lateen Rig uses
a very simple mast; No sail track, No Boom jaws, No Gaff Jaws, No
complicated rigging on the gaff to shape the sail.

The Lateen is a very simple sail and by bringing the Booms together
with the sail coming to a point it can be kept simple.
AND

Watch Neal, using Wilbur's name, come Stalking with some kind of STUPID
