The sailing article is up for approval. The section on the physics of sailing (http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Sailing#Physics) is not ready for approval in my opinion. I think it needs:
  • An engineering or physics editor to officially postpone the pending approval
  • Someone who knows aerodynamics well to give guidance on the rewrite of that section.

some critics thing bernoulli didn't even have it correct - sorta like newton's oversimplification of physics. 

... Just read at wikipedia the reasons why they disprove bernoulli for foils - interesting stuff.
