I would like to work with someone with a Laser in My area Charlotte Harbor, Florida. I have designed and built several wing sails for Sunfish and would like to try them on a Laser. see www.solidwindsails.com for contacting me. Thanks

Thanks for correcting my typo... Yes there has been a little head to head...but not enough yet at various points of sail. The wing points higher, but have not done any downwind racing. On the reach it is faster with 25% less sail area...
 
I only know the "old math" and not the "new math", and my VisiCalc floppy disc cannot be installed on this modern computer, but according to my calculations, 60 sq ft is 20% less than a Sunfish's 75 sq. ft. (not that it really makes a difference, but I thought I'd point that out.)
 
You are correct...my thinking was backwards...with a 15 square foot difference and 60 square feet on the wing I assumed 25%...
