Abstract

Each sail is made up of a number of panels sealed from each other and each consisting of double walls with an intermediate space. Each space may be inflated to form an aerofoil shape over the whole area of the sail. The double walled sail carries a horizontal boom, and is suspended from a bracket at the top of the mast. The air pressure may be regulated through pitot tubes (32) at the base of the sail.
