well, as far as them being a hindrance to sail, I was thinking it might be possible to just remove it from the mast when not in use, but if that's too complicated, just a system to lock them into a position(if only using two blades) perpendicular to the boom if the boom was secured going straight back, I know there's a better way to explain this, but I don't have all the terminology down yet... basically they'd be in line with those cross bar things about 2/3s up the mast... not sure what those are...

anyway, yeah, I think it could work, but you're right, there are too many unknowns that I couldn't figure out without knowing alot more science or spending alot of money building something that may or may not work
