Prof O’Connell Talk on Sails and The History of Sail Design

From cotton to laminates, sail design has come a long way over the past few decades.

In his inimitable style, “Prof” O’Connell will take us through how the dark art of sail design has evolved through different materials, shapes, and cuts to drive our boats of all types, from dinghy to keelboat, racers and cruisers, also. A most instructive talk is promised followed by a two course supper.
