The "new" A class sails have increased the square top so much that, not only do some of them actually have no roach at all, I have seen one new A class sail that’s leech is actually slightly concave. The guys sailing them swear that is exactly what they do - increase the usable area in light airs and twist off better with more gust control in the heavier stuff.
That's exactly what's been going on in windsurfing...see attached.
