Sailing is 7,000 years old, but you’ve never seen a sail like this. It’s designed to reduce our fuel usage and help save the earth.

This is the Californian equivalent of African home made flying machines.
Wing sails have been around for decades.. Nothing new about that at all. The C class Cats have been using them since the early days of the “little Americas Cup”.. In the late 90s there were even Solar Wing sails on some ferries.
The only way you’ll get 19mpg in a Cadillac escalade is if you’re going downhill with the engine off.
Ppppbbbt, termites contribute more carbon footprint than all the coal in Chinee.
The wing should be covered in solar panels !
Excellent…
Now make a solar panel sail wooooow
So I thought engines exhaust carbon monoxide. Trees need carbon dioxide. Humm? CO versus CO2.
congrats, you created a static sail. You have solved a problem that no one has, and in doing so ceated a bunch more,such as,what is you have to navigate into a harbor. What if the schip is docked, what i heavy winds occure etc etc.idiots.
I assume this works as a stand alone sailboat, if one wishes? Right?
interesting boat … idiotic “environmental” nonsense detracted.
How safe is the design when very strong winds blow on a normal day, would it make the boat topple down?
CO2 — 0.04% of the total atmosphere. Now go and save some carbon dioxide release into the air to save the world! Good job
Ah, a square wheel.
So many geniuses in the modern world.
Idiotic liberal nonsense.
2:09. 600 pounds aloft is considered “light”?!
For this kind of fixed wing sails, how do you stop the boat when the wind is still blowing strongly especially during a hurricane or typhoon situation while the boat is anchored at a specific spot in the ocean?
If it’s just a 1‑in-100 chance, I’m happy to force people to do things. Why does environmentalism attract all the closet tyrants?
I don’t trust anyone who’s going to save the world. Except maybe Elon.
How do you depower in rough weather.
So what happens when the software glitches or an electrical component dies at sea? If you think about it, sailing hasn’t really changed much since the beginning. There’s a reason for that. It’s like the wheel, it just works.
People worried about the earth are the non believers, and first to take the vax
likes the brain thing. It would be super for single handed ocean passage boats
The Ellen all electric ferry in Denmark works well there are electric ferries in Norway and Stena line will have a electric ferry in Sweden.

A ferry holds hundreds of people. There is no way that any form of public transit is less efficient than a private automobile.
you lot on comition by communists
What happens in a storm? This wing will break and or capsize the boat.
There are no braincells in this comment section
I thought that plants need carbon dioxide…?
Don’t starve trees and plants keep using internal combustion engines they need the CO2.
Uhh… Obvious question, how do you reef that sail? Lol
Wait why are these guys advocating for lawmakers to make their sails mandatory on ferries? why wouldnt people buy them just to save on fuel costs? unless they are lying… lol
This is not rocket science it very old tech. I am very weary of companies who play the old i’m saving the earth record.
CO2 IS ON THE DECLIne. Why the fear it made life on earth possible and plants love it.
The y are going to insist !!!! they are communists FUC44 YOU
This was 9 years ago, so how is it going? Oh, they gone now. These wings are probably good for transporting grain and coal but not so great at transporting people as they tip the boat away from the wind so if you have old people or people in wheelchairs on the boat, they have increased danger with this system. 1 lawsuit from a fall caused by extra leaning on a boat would lose way more than they would ever recoup from efficiency gains. Like I said, cargo ships would probably benefit but not passenger ships, due to comfort and safety.
How did that work out for you…. Lol
I wonder whether it wouldn’t be better to have a windmill on the ferry charging batteries for an electric drive. The advantage would be that the windmill can run 24 hours a day and works even when the ferry is docked.
