Urban Sail

When a breeze kicks up and your umbrella becomes either uncontrollable, inverts itself in your hands, or flies from your grip.

Synonyms: urban kite, umbrella sail, umbrella kite
"Umbrellas are a pain in the ass. Sure, they protect your head and shoulders from the rain, but the second the slightest breeze kicks up, you suddenly find yourself the unwitting mast for an urban sail that, best case scenario, inverts itself in your hands, and worst case scenario, flies from your grip, whips down the street and spears the Pope in the neck." - Tracy V.

Lateen Sails

Lateen Sails were triangular sails of Austronesian origin.

Egyptian Sail versus The Austronesian Sail: Austronesian sails are triangular while Egyptian sails are square. The Lateen sails (triangular, Austronesian, Ilonggo, Paraw) which the Arabs introduced to Iberia came from the Kunlunpos of the Austronesians, which sailed from Borneo to Madagascar through India. THE LATEEN SAIL DESIGNS WERE BORROWED BY THE ARABS AND INTRODUCED TO EUROPE. Ptolemy recorded this. These were the sails that the Kunlunpos used. The Po in Kunlunpo means Paraw in Ilonggo. The Paraws had triangular shapes which influenced the Portuguese Caravel which kickstarted The Age of Exploration. Before the Caravel sails, the Galleons were using square sails from the Egyptians which were hard to maneuver and cumbersome. The Paraw origins came from Iloilo, Panay Island, around 3000-2000 BCE. No metals were used. Pandan fibers were essential in the sails that is why in no other place in Austronesia did the Paraws come from except Panay Island in the Philippines.
Lateen Sails were triangular not square.
