sail control

In my opinion, and there are many more experienced, I think you will need two servos, one controlling a sheet plus a line from the yard end, and the other likewise. I base this purely on my knowledge of barges and thus handling a large spar with one end up in the air. Lines to both top and bottom of the sail on each side will keep it a better shape than if you just have a sheet. At the rate you work you must be nearly ready for doing this!.

When the winds before the rain, soon you may make sail again, but when the rain's before the wind, tops'l sheets and halyards mind
