Hello to all keen windurfers in the uk.



ok how do i start.



My name is michael and I'm writing from the east coast of australia. I've been windsurfing for about 9 years and love hitting the water when 20+ knot winds blow through. I'm mainly into wave and freestyle sailing as the beach is not far away and in summer the seabreezes are quite frequent.



The reason I'm starting this post is to hopefully start a disscussion about sail design as I'm currently in my last year of industrial design a a university nearby. Basically it's a year long project where we get to choose a topic to reasearch on and ultimatly come up with new innovative designs for our chosen topic.



My topic is looking at minimising the amount of sails needed for each sailer. I'm not sure if it's the same where u guys are, but here in australia on average each sailor owns between 3-5 sails varying in size and design for different conditions. I'm looking at possible owning just one sail (yes that right ONE sail!!!!!!!!!!!) by creating panels that can be added or subtracted via zips or other means, so it becomes cheaper and more effecient.



Basically I'm just after thoughts, ideas, directions or anything u can add to help me hopefully design somethin u guys might use in the future. It's a big project that i have going, along with a local sails maker that has sponered me to help create various prototypes along the way.



all feedback is appreciated.

thanks alot and keep sailin!

Michael!
