As an ex sunfish single sail sailor I'm looking at that sail kite and trying to figure out how tacking would work. And you're in deep 💩 if the wind stalls and that thing falls into the water. How many sailors does it take to dry a sail.

@Gibbon Then its down to the galley to row, row, row the boat.

@Adrift Ah. But kinda defeats the purpose when you could have modern sails or norsepower rotor sail.
Think of the back power saved to prevent being Adrift. Pun intended.

Carnival cruise offers some attractive discounts for guests who are will to put in a few shifts pulling on the oars!

last I checked, kites only fly the direction that the wind is blowing...

@wildbill83 True, but the illustration is only satire!

The artist has even depicted the ship having abruptly turned 90º to port within its own length...

Kites ARE a bit impractical.
