Im also working on some concept recently, its for a competition, the only common thing is how weird the mudguards feel :) I think the mudguards need more design work. The rest is beautiful, well done. very nice design.. Im also working on some concept recently, its for a competition, the only common thing is how weird the mudguards feel :)

These "sails" as you call them are called roll-bars. And they are designed to prevent the occupant's head from being crushed in case of roll over. Look at any open-wheel cars (including Formula 1, and I am pretty sure these guys know a thing or two about aerodynamics...) and you will see a roll-bar. So either you loose a bit on the aerodynamics (say a couple of km/h) or you loose your head in case of a roll-over. Your call.
