A sail plan is a drawing of a sailing craft, viewed from the side, depicting its sails, the spars that carry them and some of the rigging that supports the rig. [1] By extension, "sail plan" describes the arrangement of sails on a craft.
Sail plan of a sloop. Each rig may be described with a sail plan—a drawing of a vessel, viewed from the side, depicting its sails, the spars that carry them and some of the rigging that supports the rig. [4] By extension, "sail plan" describes the arrangement of sails on a vessel.

The sail plan of the Searunner 31 typically includes a main sail, jib, and sometimes a spinnaker. The trimaran configuration allows for efficient sailing in a wide range of wind conditions, with the ability to achieve higher speeds than monohull designs. One of the notable characteristics of the Searunner 31 is its folding mechanism.
A mast-aft rig is a sailboat sail-plan that uses a single mast set in the aft half of the hull. The mast supports fore-sails that may consist of a single jib, multiple staysails, or a crab claw sail. The mainsail is either small or completely absent. Mast-aft rigs are uncommon, but are found on a few custom, and production sailboats. [1]

Filled with wind, the sail has a roughly spherical polygon shape and if the shape is stable, then the location of centre of effort is stable. On sailing craft with multiple sails, the position of centre of effort varies with the sail plan. Sail trim or airfoil profile, boat trim and point of sail also affect CE.
