Sure--The kite sail has been banned in most international racing--for a number of reasons--but it has been very successfully used on monohulls--and the mast is not necessary. --no heeling with the kite--it is pulling from a central point on the axis of the boat, so no heeling moment. I am having difficulty finding a builder of a kit for my cat--but it is just as good a get home option for a monohull.--I hope we will see more of that type of developement--also as a fuel reduction alternative.
