I am skeptical about them installing it in ALL their models by 2016. Look at that picture closely. To fit the wingsail, you have to remove the
backstays, which means that the
boat needs to be engineered differently, right? Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I assumed the stays helped support the weight of the
mast, especially on larger vessels.
