Big Ships With One Sail – Save Fuel

SkySails uses large towing kites for the propulsion of the ship

• Boats traveling around the world spend a lot of fuel.

• Reduce fuel consumption to all the ships around planet earth

Do you know an innovation, system, invention that could fix, heal, relief Mother Earth?

Add a monster sail to help ships to cross oceans:

• No mast
• Operate at altitudes between 100 and 300 m where stronger and more stable winds prevail
• Generate 5 to 25 times more power per square meter sail area than conventional sails
• Categorized and treated as an auxiliary propulsion, the operation of the system is not limited by any regulations at present
• Double-wall profile gives the SkySails towing kites aerodynamic properties similar to the wing of an aircraft
• System can operate not just downwind, but at courses of up to 50° to the wind as well
• Main engine can either be throttled back to save fuel, or kept running at constant power to increase the ship’s speed
