Sir I have been following this forum and was wondering something, as a chiold I played with kites, when they were up great and loads of pull but say your in your boat and have to turn to avoid a sail yacht, will the air spill like a parachute and the kite dive into the water.
if so you then have a power vessel with no power and a long trail of kite and rigging in the path of an nocomming yacht.
can someone tell me why this will never happen ?
Regards
David
