[edit] Sunfish lateen

The rig on the Sunfish is also called a lateen rig, but differs in that it uses a lower spar as well, giving more control over sail shape than the traditional loose footed lateen sail. In this sense, it's closer to the proas crab claw sail, but the crab claw traditionally has curved spars, and a narrower angle. Anyone want to add a section on the "modern lateen" rig? scot 21:12, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
