the sail must work with. </p> <p>A sail designed for bearing off as much as possible will be radically different from one that will only be used in light wind conditions, when the bow angle will never be very wide.</p> <p>Latest generation Hood gennakers are designed with a lot of twist to limit aerodynamic stalling in the upper section of the sail due to the difference in the apparent wind angle between the lower and upper sections, which is more pronounced when bearing off as opposed to when sailing on close reach.<br><br>The type of cut proposed is the Tristar and sailcloths <br>vary depending on the expected range of use for the <br>sail and, of course, the size of the boat.</p></td> <td align="left" valign="top" width="5%"></td> <td style="font-size: 8pt; color: blue;"
