180 Degree Wind Window

If this thing works anything like a Kite surfer you have a 180 Degree wind window so You can travel in several different directions depending on the wind. It's true if you headed up wind it will not work at all...So just real it in...Or put it in Nutral which is directly above the boat.

We are talking about a 1% reduction in global CO2 output that is huge!

Re: Any change of a translation?

I am an american and in school all we learned was metric (during the 80's)....But then I would walk a mile home and use this crazy system we borrowed from you guys.

They even changed some of the signs way back when and the american cars went to metric...People just had a hard time changing, and they went back.
