Carbon Ribbed Wingsail 





As a follow-up to the inflatable wingsail, I invented a wingsail that utilized carbon ribs, rather than battens, or inflated tubes. The prototypes were built asymmetric. The picture displays a sail built to be efficient on starboard tack only. The head of the sail is designed single surfaced to promote a forgiving, twisting, breathing feel. Need to test.
