Default how a sail works, who can help me explain?

"Simple Simon" wrote in message

It's only a contradiction if one chord from leading edge to
trailing edge is envisioned. That is what you envisioned but
your vision is apparently limited. The chord I referred to
is a combination of many small straight lines (chords) that
describe the curve in question.


What a feeble wriggle.
