Of course, if you already have the technology to build boats, it's not going to take you long to copy the other guy's design. Later sail warships mostly didn't use triangular sails either. I assume this is related to volume in some manner. Clipper ships were very fast but they had relatively little capacity so were used for high value goods. |

Presumably the whole "fabric is ferociously expensive" problem.
