Title: Modern cargo windjammer
Post by: Just popping in... on July 06, 2012, 19:26:02

Found yesterday a concept of a modern cargo windjammer, with dynarig system that successfully proved itself on a yacht Maltese Falcon:

It says (http://segelreporter.com/blog/2012/02/17/geplanter-oeko-frachter-aus-holland-ecoliner-soll-mit-dyna-rigg-segeln/) they plan to launch such ship some when in 2013.   Will see!  :thumbs:

Sails might get in the way of the orbit camera.

Is it the same case for the rainbow warrior?

Yeah, the sails do often block the camera, it would be nice if you could raise/lower the sails manually.

They might just get in the way of a container gantry as well!
