Brief:
Design and build a composite Moth wing that supports the structural loads of the sailor and boat, while optimizing the wing’s “surface area” for aerodynamics and sailor maneuverability. Integrate internal cavities into the wings for control line systems (used by sailors to make adjustments). Keep weight to minimum.
