Sail Twist

   This sort of thing is really very boat specific.

Lasers, for instance, are special cases and have quite different treatment for depowering than most other craft...

	Is an open or twisted leech a good thing or a bad thing? I had always assumed it wasn't good but can it used for depowering? When we've been overpowered I usually put on lots of kicker and cunningham but that would straighten the leech when perhaps we're supposed to be letting the wind spill out?
