How to make a sail component by rotating a profile in MC
    proj makesail
    
    `Converts a station into a profile component of SAIL part HOUSE
    `Will do the same for more than one component if desired.
    
    enter pm
    `read house.gf  `<-- the GF containing the 1-station component(s)
    `or create it here:
    create house\house1.p  `<-- use .p if the station has "bow" to the right
    class sail
    ends -0.01 0
    loc @ -0.01 = 0,10, 10,10, 10,15, 13,20, -12,20, -11,18, -4,18, -4,10
    inboard -12  `<-- must be at least as far negative as the station goes
    /
    display        `<-- just to see what we have
    write house.gf1
    clear
    quit pm
    
    `Note: The station must be the only station in a starboard or port-side
    `      component.
    `      This can be made using SE.  E.g.: SE house.gf1 (house\house1.p).
    
    mc house.gf1 (house\house1.p) house.gf2 /profile /newgf
    `mc house.gf1 (house\house2.p) house.gf2 /profile
    `Note if only one component is involved, omit the second mc.
    
    enter pm
    read house.gf2
    reverse  `<-- This is only necessary if the stations were reversed
             `    The reverse will make .P components into .S!
    display
    write house.gf2
    
    `The rest of the vessel can be read in here and the combined result
    `written to a new file.
