This photo is from a UK Sails newsletter, bragging up a new product.

But it is useful now and again to see what the draft stripes look like when a brand new sail is trimmed exactly right.

Sweet!

Max-draft is about 35% at the bottom, evolving to about 45% at the top. Entry is flat. Leech is smooth and open. Foot isn't strapped.

That's a pretty shape.
