Wow! That is an amazing sail! What a great idea - thanks for posting this!
( I just received my :tat26: here on Kauai today - gotta rig it, figure out where everything goes, and put it in the water to do some whale watching soon. No Parasail on my rig yet, just a main and a jib. I have to start somewhere...)

Hi
I kite and this is for sûre a fun concept. Soon you might see a Mac or tattoo 26 with funny wings.
Foils, trim tabs, floating engine Brackets , trimaranmac, are also ways to speed up a 26.
For me the most important thing Will always be to reduce quickly
In case of emergency .
