I was hoping to avoid having to design and sew sails. But it looks as if I'm going to have to, because the only reasonably affordable choice for a main sail for a
Salt Bay Skiff, such as a Laser 4.7, has a leech length that puts the center of effort too far up in the air for a small sailor to manage the resulting leverage that would be created. That means I'm going to have to learn to build an airfoil. Fortunately, there are good tutorials.
