Kite Boat Design
I want to start this new thread for everybody interested in the possibilities to power his boat ( sail or power or kayak ) temporary by a traction kite as they are used by kite surfer.. Production of a new concept two person transoceanic kite boat. why to establish a one design ocean kite boat race series - for more information on the race events please go to www.okb-racing.com .. This may happen even when the true wind speed is quite a bit stronger than the 8km/hr minimum, but can be controlled by user friendly kite design and skillful flying. another is downwind sailing when the boat over-runs the kite..
Kite is my own boat, co-owned with colin henwood who built her. she is a 21ft trailer sailer constructed from 9mm marine plywood sheathed in glass cloth and epoxy.. The kite is a one-design planing dingy, self-bailing, easy righting for 2 people or as a single-handler. planes easily. well made, sturdy, with boom vang, out- and downhauls for sail control, not a board boat like a laser or sunfish.. The kiteboat project has existed in some form since 1997, when don montague first began attaching kites to boats. our mission is to design a purpose-built vessel that is specifically designed to.
