Examples

Marshall Islanders sailing, with sails brailed ( reefed ), circa 1899-1900. Source: Internet

No explanation is offered as to how this could be accomplished with a square sail as the lower reefed portion of the sail would be very bulky and would prevent even an approximation of the laminar flow necessary for windward sailing. Source: Internet
