Wow Neal,

You've got 3 threads going. Which one do you want to use to prove I'm
STUPID?

Since you agreed to what Aspect Ratio was in "Wild Ride" although you
referred to height and base, in one of the treads as Sail Aspect Ratio.

Aspect Ratio
Do we agree that the deeper the Chord the Higher the Aspect Ratio? This
is important because if you do, high aspect sails aren't faster, they
are slower.

They are more powerful. That is they will DRAW when the wind is light.
Similar to 1st gear on a transmission, but need to be flat (Low Aspect)
for high speeds.

Think about that for awhile, before we continue on about Sail Aspect
Ratio.

Ole Thom
