Reply to: Sailing 30mph upwind in 0mph True wind...

[quote=tamumpower1][quote=leeboweffect]Idiotic, it states that the 30 mph is upstream, thus in calm/flat water the boat would be doing 40 mph in dead air. So why not just pull a sailboat with a power boat to 10 mph to "bump" start it then sail at 40 mph in calm wind and flat water. These guys have had too much to drink.[/quote] That’s sorta what the boats designed to do. On the end of the foils they have electric props to bump start the boat and generate the required apparent wind. Then they shut off.[/quote]
