I seem to remember a wind powered cargo ship before. It had masts with solid sails controlled by computer.

Very cool - should reduce the cost of shipping as well, especially with oil prices as they are.

I know there are certain wind currents that blow along trade routes, but you would be at the mercy of them. I applaud this effort and hope that success is achieved. You can't make progress until you start thinking outside the box.

That is so cool! I want to see it sailing .... off to google some pics....

It's neat to think that we've almost come full circle with ships - it was wind power that got those Europeans across the pond back in 1492, and it's wind that might send them back now.

"any way the wind blows
doesn't really matter to meeee!
to me."

Thank you queen. Thank you.

Revolutionary...I wonder why no one has thought of this before...Using the wind to move ships...lol
