Most sail concepts don't work with today's open deck cargo ships, that problem is solved by the OutSail concept.. but it still faces many more problems:
- Is the connection enough to transmit the sail forces?
- How will a ship with no sailing keel behave?
- How will it affect balance and righting moment?
- How will it behave after years of poor maintenance?
- What happens if the wind picks up and the sails are not retracted early enough? ( The wind forces acting on a sail will at some point prevent you from hauling it in, but with traditional sails an axe can solve the problem ) |
