Notice on the site there are no photographs of it in action. Just drawings. It can't work. You cannot harness enough wind power with a windmill on a boat to make the entire untethered vessel proceed directly upwind. It isn't going to happen because it defies the laws of physics.

et... "Alan Gomes" wrote I see they are taking donations I gotta admit, it's more imaginative than, "Greetings my friend, I am Oboe Ndugu, former Nigerian government official..." This is so refreshing. This is a more enlightened group that those fools over in Great Britain on uk.rec.sailing. Most all those idiots over there believe in this propeller contraption pie-in-the-sky sailing directly upwind crap. Wilbur Hubbard |
