Hairy sails
 

Check out the detailed color drawing of the Tapejara imperator - mid
cretaceous pterosaur from Brazil at:

Seems they have found a pterosaur with an even larger sail, 25' tall
with a wingspan of over 40'.

The fossels clearly show the sails covered with fine hair. Many think
they sailed along the coast rarely needing to flap for forward
movement. Also interesting is the wings and sail had a layer if super
thin veins and muscle that would shape the sail and wings.

Could this be the the future of sails?

Ohh almost forgot, In the sail and the wings they have found a natural
full batten system as well, sort of like a cartlege batten system.
