A veil is a piece of fabric, which can vary in size from a few square meters to several hundred square meters, which, thanks to wind, is used to move a vessel. Sails are used on sailboats, windsurfers, but also on land vehicles (Key West sail and snorkel). A veil is mainly characterized by its shape, weight, and (s) material (s) which it is composed.
That's why sailors always changing their settings to keep them as close as possible the separation sails without the to stall. This requires constant attention, because the setting must be adapted to changes in speed, heading, and wind changes. Strands of wool or ribbons (favors) are often set in various parts of hollow sails to materialize flow nets wind, and report the stall.
The luff of mainsails is secured to mast or through the slides set sails and passed through the mast or through a rope (that is to say a rope sewn along sailing). The edge of mainsails is held by a rope or a / the slide (s) passed into groove of boom. A spinnaker (spinnaker) symmetric by definition, tack and luff are side pole (after jibe so do these terms mean the same most of sails).
The force exerted by wind on sails is roughly perpendicular to chord of sails plan. The component of force which is parallel to axis of vessel is the propulsive force. The other component, perpendicular to axis of vessel tends to cause it to drift, but can also cause property (band) (the ship leans on its side), and can dangerously compromise its balance or capsize.
It was during the first half of twentieth century disappears little by little the veil, especially with the end of tall ships at a premium, one of most successful for the size and speed generations, whose Belem is a survivor, unlike the Duchesse Anne reflecting a generation of great vessels school that bygone period.
At its inception this veil was little different from the square sails, his yard is horizontal, but with significantly improved performance upwind, including "topping lift" of yard, that is to say, the yard becomes more vertical in approaching the axis of mast.
This sails had its heyday In river navigation: easy to implement, it was adapted to folding or removable masts various vessels such as barges, barges, and some barges. Among the boats that brought this rig to perfection, we have the Thames barges which some copies still sailing today at the marina, while others lie dormant in a museum.
Ideally, therefore, a web has a curved profile, the profile being in front of axis of wind, and the back of profile in axis of vessel. The distance between the leading edge and the trailing edge should be as short as possible to reduce friction (drag), while being long enough to distribute the vacuum. Depression is much stronger that the forced air flow direction deviates from the axis of wind. We can therefore provide for a higher radius of curvature at the front of profile backwards. This results in an asymptotic optimal profile, where in hollow is located in first third of profile.
