My first thought on how to create the sail was to use a tutorial we had done in onr of the earlier classes. I thought that I could use the loft tool to create a spring and manipulate it into the finished sail shape.
I tried with the circle path but I had no luck, I then used a rectangle and lofted that againt the helix. After a few tweaks in the deformation facility using scale to make the ends of the sail less flat and twist in order to flaten the sail out; I had a sail shape I was happy with.
The supports were just made will the cylinder tool and rotated and scaled to fit the model.
