Solar Sail Yachts of the Future
By Timmy | November 15, 2008
I like the idea of alternative fuels, and I like the idea of solar powered things like 
solar powered cars that can help us save the dying earth while still enjoying our daily luxuries…
The yachting world has similar issues — people don’t want to go sailing as they want the power and the ease of a motor yacht, but they also understand they’re polluting the seas with their fossil fuel use…
Well, thanks to engineers thinking about solutions — soon we’ll be seeing SOLAR SAILS in the harbors around the world… Obviously it’ll be a huge investment, but as we all know — that’s never something to stop the wealthy dream yacht owners!
The company behind this innovation is Solar Sailor — in the video below there’s a moving example!

From practical point of view the solar panel should be placed perpendicular to the sun rays. So sails solar panels (as on the picture) will work properly only in morining and evening.
