A kite sail for power boaters? Could it really catch on?

Even the most die-hard powerboater likes new toys - and what better than one that could keep your fuel bill down, not to mention provide a different kind of fun when you fancy a bit of variety!

There are already cargo ships seeing the potential of fuel-saving that wind-power, especially in the form of a kite sail, can provide, here's a cool kite sail for power boaters from Omega Sails that's a perfect accessory for the fuel-conscious among you...

 


 

As well as saving you money we can see this could be a lot of fun, especially if you have the family on board, not to mention giving you a rest from the noise of those engines while you sail along. Add a picnic lunch and you have the makings of a romantic lunch break as well. Definitely a 'must have' toy!
