Skysails’ is that genre of engineering science
that uses extensive utilization of wind
energy to move a vessel in the sea water.
The ‘Skysails’ technology allows the towing
kite to gain a height of anything between
100 metres to 300 metres. The sailing kite is
made in such a way that it can be raised to its
proper elevation and then brought back with
the help of a ‘telescopic mast’ that enables
the kite to be raised properly and effectively.
