Thanks Doug,

I guess we should mention that those "Twin Sails" are high aspect sails

While we are at it, we must mention those hydro-furls shoud have a round
leading edges ( according to Neal) to increase speed (G)

Now that, we cleared up High Aspect & Fledermaus, I can get back to my
coffee

Neal,

It would be better for you if you'd, Shut the Hell up!

You haven't a clue to what, "High Aspect" really means.

Ole Thom

If you call those sails high aspect ratio then you have no clue.

Keep in mind that the rig shown in the original post will always be close hauled
as speed because of the apparent wind generated by the high speeds.

A taller sail than shown that has a more rounded head will be more
efficient than the ones shown. Guaranteed.

You are the one who's clueless. See the links I posted on the
other post where I made you look like a dweeb.

OK Neal,

Let's play with this a Bit.
High aspect RATIO

This RATIO, has to be between two things.

Question; In respect to a sail, Aspect of what to what?

Let's start there so we can both be on the same subject.

Ole Thom

You don't need to treat me like a retard. The aspect ratio is a number
representing relationship between the length and the chord. It might
look something like this, 3.5:1 or 7.0:2.5.
