> This afternoon (Thursday) they called into Louisiana Governor Mike > Foster's live, statewide radio show, using the satellite phone provided by > Shell Pipeline Company and Stratos Communications. They had a sail rigged, and > Larry talked as Arthur steered the boat. No question as to satellite phone - nice stuff, just a little bit bulkier than VHF radio, but, gee, its air-time is costly. Handsets (AFAIK) are from $700. My question is about sail; I know and use some, but what design they are using, and how big is sail area if they (probably) don't use outrigger?
