I did see an interesting video of Pete Melvin, Pease Glaser where they where filmed from a helicopter. The sails are the most interesting because it looks they have only 3 battens in the main.
See the link to the movie

The sails have seven battens, that's just the light playing tricks. I know, I am using one of those sails at the upcoming WC.

Anyway it would be interesting to see a few pics of this new Glaser's design.
The position and the angle of the two top battens is very original

That is an interesting sail that Pease and Pete are sailing with. There appear to be no battens in the bottom half of the sail and there's no batten on an angle. Looking forward to seeing more of this sail, hopefully from the Worlds.

Looks like Jeremy was sailing with the 7 batten sail.
