Default Info On Unique UK Sail Design. Anyone, Please

True, Walker made several versions however, some earlier versions looked
cylindrical with a trim tab. A Wingsail equiped tri was a feature of
several UK TV programs during the eighties in which they emphasised the low
height of the rig and the fact that it was 'driven' like a car, wheel and a
foot pedal for power., even to the extent of sialing backward and forward
to 'parallel park' against a dock. Shame it didn't take off.


Was this on a cat? If so Bah! _Anyone_ can sail a cat backwards! G
