Default lanteen sails


On the sails I have made, I have considered cutting off the portion of
the sail that overlaps the mast but have not done so yet.


Then it would become a lugsail, surely?

I dunno about surely, but the Sunfish type lateen does resemble a
balance lug more than a classic lateen rig.
