A kite rig is particularly well-suited to a hydrofoil boat. the vertical component of the force that the kite creates physically raises the boat, and it lowers the minimum speed at which the boat will foil. it also, at any foiling speed, decreases the amount of required lift, which reduces the amount of induced drag created by the foils.. Kite is my own boat, co-owned with colin henwood who built her. she is a 21ft trailer sailer constructed from 9mm marine plywood sheathed in glass cloth and epoxy. with an all up weight of 750kgs she can be comfortably trailed behind a 2litre family car. draft with centreplate and rudder raised is just 10inches (250mm),…. The boat would be leaning toward the kite if it was attached where it is on the drawings, and the other renderings show the keel at the extreme rear of the boat in back of the attachment point of the kite. with that setup the boat could only go downwind and not even turn effectively..
Find great deals on ebay for boat kite. shop with confidence.. In other words - instead of fix attaching the kite to a pre-excisting hull / boat / catameran / trimaran, we design the boat hull to serve the kite in its most effective ( active) manner - since the kite is the force behind the kite-sailer.. This may happen even when the true wind speed is quite a bit stronger than the 8km/hr minimum, but can be controlled by user friendly kite design and skillful flying. another is downwind sailing when the boat over-runs the kite..
