Video - Inversion wrinkles. The effect of tensioning the sheet is to bend the mast which, when it exceeds the sail's luff curve, then inverts the sail and decreases sail depth. The only depth left is from broad seaming curves. |

Video - Main sheet and sail depth. Sheeting in bends the mast which takes luff curve out of the sail and the sail flattens. When the camera moves to the right, you can see the inversion wrinkles caused when the bent mast's curve begins to approximate the luff curve of the sail. The luff curve is designed to match the mast bend so the inversion happens symmetrically. |

Video - Inhaul and luff round. Using the amount of the mast visible as a reference, watch the inhaul pull the lower sail forward, increasing the effective luff curve which increases the luff's roundness. This rounder entry is not as fast but is more forgiving in choppy water and air. |

Video - Inhaul, bottom batten, and lower leech. Watch how the inhaul pulls cloth out of the bottom leech which decreases the bottom batten's flap angle. This opens and takes power out of the bottom part of the leech and reduces weather helm. |

Video - Cunningham and traveler effects on mid-leech. The cunningham pulls cloth out of the middle of the sail opening up the three middle battens. This also takes power out of the leech reducing heeling force of the wind in the sail. |
