Who said that kite is only suitable for kite surfing? Look at what the French at OmegaSails have come up with: a range of kites that can be easily mounted on all kinds of boats, from kayaks and sup to dinghies and powerboats up to 18 meters. This is a static kite with a special shape that is able to work exclusively at carriers.
On a motor boat, you will need a pole to which you can attach the two lines attached to the kite: watch how it works in the video below. Manufacturers assure performance up to 5-6 knots in wind conditions from 12 to 30 knots (the kite starts working with 7 knots of air). www.omegasails.com

How much do your series of kites cost? And what sizes do you have?

I am looking to power a 28ft cabin cruiser. I need more range than the standard tanks provide. I am curious as to what you have that could provide this.
Thanks, Jim
