hello all,

I'm not much of a sailor sorry about that but I would like to hear what
you think of this idea.

How do you accerate? Partly gravity and partly wind hitting the sails?
What are you going to do if you are heading into the wind - tack the
tracks? That's at best a one way trip if the wind is at your back. If
you are heading into the wind, the wind will dissipate the action of
gravity and you'll get stuck at the bottom.

Back to the drawing board.
