Do you have a clue what "aspect ratio" means?

DSK

Of course, a high aspect ratio sail is tall and narrow along the cord.

In other words the wings of a glider are high aspect ratio whike those
of a fighter jet are not.

Those sails on that tandem rig are not high aspect ratio sails.
If those idiots wanted to go five or six knots faster they would
get somebody who knew a little about sails to design them a
more efficient pair.

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

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.
