Modern Ships by Sail Assist

I agree, anyone who's flown a fair size kite or even carried an umbrella in a wind storm, knows they can give you a good pull. The little magic steering box is cool too.

I think the pictures on the site are misleading, in that the real world application would be much bigger... maybe intimidatingly so.

Their performance claims are supposedly real world data for a ship that's equipped with a sail that 1/2 to 1/3 the size they recommend. WTF?
