Interesting and smart way to move a vessel. How many lines? Do the lines get twisted? Kite storage on boat? Automatic direction control of boat direction in conjunction with an autopilot? Maintenance and material wear considerations? Minimum wind speed to move a 20-40’ boat? Did anybody do an unbias review? How far off coastal waters is needed for practical usage?

Unless you've got a bigger kite a normal mast & sails would be faster. But I can see this as a good backup system to have.

Does it pull the boats sideways without a keel?

@imperius88 7 ай бұрын

Honestly if you just put a few tails on that thing to keep it bottom-heavy and it wont whip around like that and you wont have to worry about losing it in the ocean.

@1FishinAddict Ай бұрын

It’s whipping around to harness more power in low wind conditions. That’s the whole idea behind it. Look up kiteboarding

It's the future. Yes, a bigger kite would drive the boat faster it's still in the development stages. Soon we will see kites pulling foiling boats, that will be a game changer.

Yeah, cool, great, works awesome when the wind is blowing the exact direction you want to go. In which case no kite at all would also work. Sweet.

Can someone message me about this. I have been talking with Bering yachts to add a sail or parachute to cut fuel costs and extend range. Im going to build the B80, its a heavy full displacement with 6000+nmrange with diesel but if I can add some wind power during the initial build phase, even if it only saves 20% fuel, that is close to a quarter of a million dollars of fuel saving year. There are options including AI design. Bering is new and very flexible. I have money to invest in new industry.

@jasonmatthers2286 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah I can message you about this. There is this great invention called the sailboat. It has actually been around a lot longer than motorboats. The shape of the hull is optimized for sailing and you can even adjust the sail area depending on wind speed. Range is unlimited. You can do your 6000nm for FREE. Hope that helps buddy!

@BrettMoore66 2 жыл бұрын

@@jasonmatthers2286 Totally Hilar5ious. Would you take a sail boat to some of the most extreme regions of the world ? And how do you make the wind blow the direction and strength you want ? what's that ? You cant, because sail boats use their motors a lot more than their sails. And.. if I wanted a tiny fragile vessel, id get a CE-B plaining hull. I do the math, I cant make a full displacement move magically faster against the bow wake. But what I can do is run a pilot sail out front, that might take some pressure off the engines, extending my range from 6000+NM to perhaps even double that. I can afford fuel, and actually, hybrid engines are starting to look even better. But on a serious note.. I have played with hull designs vs weight vs speed, vs interior space, vs strength (cyclone or hurricane) bla bla bla.. so yes I did look at many hull designs even duel and tri hull ships but what I want my vessel for requires a trawler and close to 75 - 80 ft. There are pros and cons of every hull shape, material, designs and so forth. I happen to like steel hulls and I like Berings 40% overbuild. But is there anything wrong with wanting to cut my fuel costs and extend my range ? So as there is a 3 year weight on build.. I've put my plans on ice for a few months whilst I reconsider my options and what I really want in the next ten years, and what the world might look like in ten years. So again.. back to Trawler as they are also like an ocean going bunker, and hold enough to keep any prepper happy. Fuel.. sail boats need that too but have limited range when relying on fuel vs wind. You cant just drift around the ocean on the currents hoping for wind to come along. You might find the wind blowing in the opposite direction assuming you are not just following trade winds :-) I think every boat purchaser goes through these anxieties and plans. Also.. trawlers being heavy, do not need a lot of stabilisation !

@jasonmatthers2286 2 жыл бұрын

@@BrettMoore66 Yes I would rather take a sailboat as I have done before. I can assure you I did not use the motor more than the sails. I can't make the wind blow the direction and strength I want but I can adjust trim and sail size. If it were a problem, sail boats wouldn't cross oceans. We already know what the prevailing winds are in different latitudes. You wouldn't take your motorboat east to west around antarctica would you? Plenty of expedition yachts SAILING around antarctica anyway...

@@jasonmatthers2286 IS this a childish tantrum of "I love sail boats so everyone must love sail boats or I will cry" Sort of a thing ? Because honestly.. each to their own. With a 77 foot FD hull I can house a palace. What can you fit in a sail boat of the same size ?
