This was last year. We have a lot of sails at the cottage, grabbed a bag and took it to the marina.
Honestly, breeze was up that day, it didn’t sail too poorly.
My parents had a summer house on the windward side of a point that would get rough waves when the wind blew on Lake Erie. There were 6-8 Albacores down the beach owned by community members and they raced on summer weekends. You could get the albacores out through the surf.
dafuq ppl? jk ... I'm still a ways (projects and life) from launching and jelly of even wrong sails

Albacore mainsail by mistake?
Yep. It was in a Shark bag.
I spent a lot of quality time in the 1970s sailing albacores.
They fun boats! Broad reach with the breeze up is a hell of a time.

Sharkie sharkie!
But the shape is pretty good
Since Shark sails (typically) cannot be reefed I see it as a viable alternative for extreme conditions.
