Animas High to stay cool under Oracle sail

Animas High School is going to receive a sail from Oracle Team USA, the winner of the 2010 America’s Cup.

It will be used as a shade at an outdoor amphitheater on the campus.

The sail will be a jib, said Amy Hewitt, who will teach Spanish at Animas High come fall. Hewitt came by the sail through the engineer who designs boats for Oracle Team USA.

“We don’t know yet what size the sail will be,” Hewitt said. “Oracle Team USA has about 50 boats.”

Hewitt isn’t sure when the sail will arrive.

A jib is a triangular sail set ahead of the foremast to reduce turbulence.
