    Yeah how would you like to stand one the uh deck and tact or haul in a storm jib Climb to the topmast and change the navigation light while in flight. this is wrong in so many ways it cannot be counted.
    But hey if a wind powered aircraft could be flown without assistance of any other propulsion the world would beat a path to his door step even if it were for recreational low altitude flights over water.
