Kiteships
I saw this in the Tampa Tribune today.

I wonder how that thing would handle in a heavy squall? What if you couldn't shut it down? Container ships are going to be learning some hard kite lessons like we did in 2000, etc. I'll be staying away from the channel until they get some skillz.

i saw that too chris. believe me it will never work. silly idea. kites however will work on sail powered vessels looking for some more speed.

feel sorry for the guy on the deck having to hold that thing down.
comes unhooked its fun time.... then again.. maybe i want to be that guy. tough decision. |
