Sail Plan and Rig
Whether it is an explorer sailing yacht or a fast ocean racer,
sails and rig must
⏩ give superb performance under sail over all points of sail
⏩ in light to heavy wind conditions otherwise there will be excessive motoring
⏩ easy to use, because the easier it is to add or reduce sails the more likely it is that the yacht is properly canvassed and trimmed
⏩ strong in order to stand up to the many days of use in heavy conditions
