Report from the Med
by Chris Partridge

Dear Chuck,

Once again my punishing business schedule has taken me to the Mediterranean, at St Tropez. Between lunch (two hours) and dinner (five) I staggered round the harbour and spotted these pretty traditional boats. Has anyone had experience with lateen sails? Is there anything that makes them suitable for the Med but nowhere else?

Yours in rehab,
Chris
