Back in the day most of the Cat 1 boats had deck sweeping sails (end plate theory) with radial travelers. They where very quick upwind and held their shape well downwind.
I have some shots that I will scan and post tomorrow.
PS. I'm sure that the Coyote had a flatter deck then the boat shown above. There where some guys from Canada that made some boats that had an elliptical hull shape.
