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.
In ninth century the introduction of lateen begins the decline sailing in Mediterranean where the wind regime is too irregular to use it. Atlantic it persists even beyond the Middle Ages, Viking long ships to Hanseatic cogs, through the French and British ships. The following centuries confirm its retention as evidenced ships products both for trade and for the fight.
To improve the performance sailboats, speedboats architects also influence the shape of mast (wing masts) to further improve these flows. Resembling the close, sailing has a propulsive force as its angle relative to apparent wind is still large enough (about twenty degrees). This has the consequence that it is possible with a vehicle with a low resistance to progress, to go faster than the true wind. This is the case for example windsurfers, multihulls, mono hulls designed some of Planing and tanks to sails. Craft being the fastest sailing ice tanks capable of reaching four to five times the speed of wind.
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.
One can consider a sails attached flow charge of a system as a deflecting air mass. Just like a shot putter gets a centrifugal force by spinning his hammer, sailing receives is proportional to mass of air deflected and the deflection angle power. The amount of air is deflected from the product:
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.
