Re: Kites are back
Hi,

A fair few years ago Tomorrows World showed a tanker with metal sails, I remember them being horizontally slatted, never heard anymore about it, gone to join the Marie Celeste perhaps.

They also showed a tanker with a rotating leading edge to it's rudder so that the ship could turn almost in it's own length, that seems to have vanished as well.

Max.
Not the ship the rotating rudder
