[PSUBS-MAILIST] Kite Powered Subs



Greetings Submadmen,

Kite sailing a boat with out a traditional deep sail boat mono hull keel is not a problem, since you are being pulled more up and forward. Also there is very little heeling as well.  Of course it can be even better in a catamaran, or trimarian.  You can how ever us a towing kite of a traditional mono hulls sail boat that still has it's sailing rigging still on it or removed.  This way whether you sailing or not you have even greater stability in a stormy sea.

If you had a submarine that was almost completely submerged, the kite would still pull you if large enough. But of course theres more drag that way.
