Something I recall from reading "Sail Performance", the crab claw is way better then most people expect. In fact for a smaller boat it may just be the best shape when averaged over all the points of sail. Modern sail plans are targeted more towards large boats and racing boats, which does not reflect the reality of what most people are sailing most of the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_claw_sail https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_claw_sail
