wind sheer

One issue is whether you can adjust a winged sail to accommodate wind sheer. I was thinking you could build some typical amount of sail twist into the sail structure, but that would only work on one tack. So it would have to be adjustable. I'm guessing you can't, but the benefits outweigh the costs. (Or are there winged sails where you CAN adjust the twist?)
