<p>The invention relates to a sail assembly for a sail craft. The sail assembly (7) comprises a load-bearing membrane (15) coupled to the mast (5), a sail (17) fixed to the mast (5) and extending at least partially over both sides of the load-bearing membrane (15) and terminating in trailing edges (33). The sail assembly (7) further comprises a framework of battens (29a, 29b) and optionally spars (31) to support the sail (17) so that it is responsive to the direction and speed of wind which contacts the sail and forms an aerodynamic profile.</p> |
