Unique design of rigid (as contrasted to fabric) sailing craft; sails are built up of aerofoils mounted vertically and pivoting axially about their center lines; they have aerodynamic advantages over fabric sails; mast and sheets are entirely eliminated; sails are constructed of glass fiber backed with expanded plastic foam and reinforced with plywood ribs; hulls will be constructed of fiber glass.
