Stap once again with us into the world of the kitesurfing catamaran, the kite boat and kite-powered container ships that should be able to support the global energy transition.
Project kitesurf boat with Sam Light successful
Grab your old Hobie Cat-18 catamaran that you hardly use anymore and rebuild it into a kitesurfing catamaran. This was the hobby project of kitesurf pro Sam Light. For those who don't know Sam. Sam Light has been around as a professional kiteboarder for some time and has a best reputation in kiteboarding land. We are talking about 'kiteboarding' instead of 'kite surfing' because Sam's kitesurfing style is mainly wake style kiteboarding.

We now dive a little deeper into the topic of the kitesurf catamaran, kite boat and kite-powered container ships that should be able to support the global energy transition.

Sam's actions have not gone unnoticed worldwide. This is how he is now sailing with a trimaran kitesurf catamaran for the Ocean Kite Project.
Kitesurf catamaran specialist Don Montague
The phenomenon of kitesurfing catamaran is not new. When kitesurfing became popular, experiments were already underway with the use of kitesurfing kites and different types of craft. Kitersurf designer from the very beginning Don Montague was there and it is still his passion. on his website Project Kiteboat you can see how Don and his team are working with mega-large kites. Mega kites in combination with hydrofoil under a specially prepared kitesurf catamaran. Don Montaque and his team have developed the kite catamaran enormously. They started small with kite boats without hydrofoil hydrofoils after which they started to scale up. You wouldn't say it, but this kite boat sails with the support of a multitude of sensors.
Same boat, larger foils, larger sensors. San Francisco Bay.

We can't help but go the extra mile for you Sky Sails Marine to introduce. SkySail's mission is "Unleashing the true potential of wind power!"

Unleashing the true potential of wind power!
You have briefly and superficially stepped into the world of the kitesurf catamaran, kite boat and kite-powered container ships that are the worldwide energy transition should be able to support. We will keep you informed.
