| Re: How it works
Jed, thanks for the great explanations! The more I read, the more I want to know and see. Speaking of seeing: I'd love to see pictures of the sails in action up close - as they are set or furled, to get a better understanding of the way that process happens. Also, I read somewhere a writer talking about the design of the sails not taking into account something to do with the wind (I can't remember if the word was "swirl"; in my mind it seemed to be something like turbulence), I think it was relating to the sails highest on the masts. I was wondering, if you can figure out from my attempted description what the writer was talking about, whether you have a response to that.
