	In 1949, Bee Makinnon (teacher at Eton) asked Austin Farrar to build him a wing sail for his Canoe “Defiant“ You can see a photo of Defiant p. 119 in David Chivers'book From notes of Austin, he is not the first : - Lord Brabazon in early 1930' mounted an aeroplane's wing vertically on a turnable on the deck of his Bembridge Redwing One-Design (200 sf ft). - Uffa Fox in the mid 1930' mounted an biplane's wing on a InT 14' Dinghy. But there are others precursors, for ex. : - In 1934, Michel Meneo designed and built the Oberdan, with a wing sail with flexing battens, like Patient Lady II in 1971
