I knew downwind sailing was "it" for a very long time, but did the concept of sailing to wind really come about with the evolution of the wing and mechanical flight? Scout No. You make some excellent points. Scout He's so succinct in his answers.... I think it I read it in a Matt Collie discussion, but I can't seem to find it and I can't remember if this was Matt's position or someone else's. If you're out there Matt . . . Scout People sailed to wind before the wing....s;oops have been around for awhile...and didn't schooners sail to wind? I know that aquare riggers, etc. were inefficient going to wind. Bet Bart knows the answer. Ok, I just hope it's not "no" - lol Scout |
