Abstract

. A new innovative approach to sailing has been proposed by TU Delft. It allows sailing in any desired direction, including straight into the wind. The concept consists of generating energy with a sky sail and then using it in an electric motor of the ship. The paper describes a mathematical model of laddermill sail.
