It's far from simple. In the upper sections, leech control is critical
to determine how much draft is right. As wind velocities at the top are higher and if angles of attack are set to be optimal by twist control then the upper secion should be slightly flatter. This is possible enitirely due to the stiffness of modern fabrics that will properly support their leech as the wind pressure increases. Have a look at the North web site for some photos of their racing sails and try to find full upper sections.
