No additional equipment required, unless you want to sail directly upwind
- Etheryte 5y agoYou can sail upwind all the same, albeit not literally straight, but by sailing zig-zag.
- galaxyLogic 5y agoI understand that. It is called "tacking" right?. My question is could a rotor + propeller allow a sailboat move upwind faster than without them, and possibly even move directly against the wind. Based on the article it seems plausible to me that it could move faster. But would that be against the rules of some major sailing competitions?
