In exploring the birdwing mast I’ve also taken a page from the Wright Brothers book, “How we invented the airplane,” by attaching the design to a bicycle.
Laugh if you want but it gave me a direct connection of how it was reacting to the wind that you do not necessarily get with a sailboat. It developed a good amount of power for bicycling under sail at the beach.
I’m currently working to complete the headsail for the birdwing bicycle.
