Can it be made 3 to 5 hundred times that size , put on foils and freight and passengers carried about with a few more sails of course?

Music sucks like most videos.

[2bornot2b1984]

getting launched would suck. It seems like it would happen quick.

How fast can you sheet out?

Have you seen the MYT Engine? Amazing

So .. how fast did it go ? Do these guys have a website ? We're very interested in financing such CO2-friendly events/projects with a high WOW-Factor ...We're setting up top CO2-friendly events...

And the "sail" is a foil also. Just not the aquatic type.

[wildblue2]

It has 2 planing surfaces, one fore and, the second, aft which is augmented with a delta-shaped "planing foil".

Think again.
