Re: Skerry sail plan

Am eager to hear the results of this experiment. Your thoughts on lower the CE echo mine. A balanced lug is prettier to my eye, and the spar is shorter and thus easier to stow. It also seems that photos of sprit sails often show a badly formed sail with lots of wrinkles, for some reason. So I think they must be difficult to make and set up. Neither is exceptional to windward; a Wooden Boat article some years back compared their performance in the same small light boat and they were similar overall, if memory serves.
