I'm a big fan of the clean lines on this boat, while I like the freedom from fuel that sailboats have they've just got too many ropes and rigging etc. for me.
Got me thinking about a boat I saw years ago. It was a large either two or three hull design and instead of fabric sails or propellers it had, what I can only describe as, vertical planes like aircraft wings.
They were as high as traditional sailboat masts and were controlled from the helm so you turn them at the base to direct the wind over them and power the boat forward.
Can anyone else remember seeing a boat like this? Do they still make them?
