Small-craft sails are sails designed to be attached to watercraft not conventionally equipped with sails, such as kayaks, canoes, or dinghies. Depending upon wind conditions, they can augment the user's paddling or rowing effort, or replace it. They are suited to touring and other long-distance usage.

The Javelin is a high-performance skiff type dinghy sailed in Australia and New Zealand. The class was founded by designer John Spencer in 1961. Spencer also founded the Cherub Class. It is 14 feet long, sporting a large sail area, single trapeze and asymmetrical spinnaker.

Bruce Farr is another well-known designer who drew successful Javelins.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Leading edge</span> Part of the wing that contacts the air first

The leading edge is the part of the wing that first contacts the air; alternatively it is the foremost edge of an airfoil section. The first is an aerodynamic definition, the second a structural one. As an example of the distinction, during a tailslide, from an aerodynamic point of view, the trailing edge becomes the leading edge and vice versa but from a structural point of view the leading edge remains unchanged.
