I think they look WEAK. Here's my daydream...

Conditions are getting good and you're trapped out off the wing. You ride over a larger wave and the bows come slamming down on the far side. The impact and your body weight breaks off the wing! You swing in toward the boat, impale yourself on the broken stump of the wing, and the boat capsizes. Evecerated is the term. You and your boat are found several hours later, capsized with your impaled and bloodless body is draped over the high side, skewered on the stump of a wing.

Just my daydream....no wings for me. There is no better feeling than the same story above while hanging from a wire in a comfortable harness.
