The question is really:
1: Is flatter faster on a singlehander
2: Can we make such a sail work with roller furling
I guess that question number one should be:
Is flatter slower on a single hander?
If not and furling is possible, then try it.
By the way, do the VX40 drop the furled spi once it is up?
I'm adding complication here for the sake of internet conversation but could we add short "air batten" parallel to the luff to support the oversize leach?
From a rule's point of view I don't know. From an aerodynamic point it will help to stabilize. What about horizontal inflated battens? I think it will be more efficient in stabilizing.
