Thanks Neal,

Starting a new thread is a very good Idea. It probably is going to take
more time to educate you than I thought.
(By the way, I can't use JAVA)
Now, If I understand you, You are saying (Correct me if I'm wrong)
Aspect RATIO is Base (foot length) to Luff length.

Neal, I call that sail area. A longer Luff is a Taller Rig and that is a
fact. However, You are leaving out and important item. Lift; two sails
with the same foot and luff can have different "ASPECT RATIOS"
Do you agree to this?

This Stupid old man, says Aspect Ratio uses CHORD Depth and Position to
Horizontal distance of sail from Luff to Leech. In other words the
airfoil shape.

The fact is you even had it explained in one of your replies, About the
Pirate and the Horizontal swipe of the sail with his cutlass. Your
example; not mine (G)

Again, this stupid old man says it again;
You haven't a clue!!
When you straighten me out on that, we'll go farther with your
enlightenment.

Ole Thom
