Hmm, site doesn't work under FireFox! I'd be worried about windy days.

Try going back to the site and holding shift (or is it Control)when you
click the "refresh" button on the browser. Might have a duff page stuck
in a cache somewhere..

Anyway, on viewing the sails (from Firefox :¬) ) It looks like they
are pretty robust, and, I would guess, the idea of having a mix of high
and low fixing points _may_ serve to reduce the amount of "parachuting"

"In instances of poor weather and strong winds, the loads placed on the
sail are enormous, and should not be underestimated."

I have seen similar things in the UK.
One such beast is outside the local "VUE" cinema. It's a massive
structure and has been there for quite a number of years now.
