That's a very un-graceful looking vessel! Look more like wind turbines or pylons than sail masts.

I agree. If you are going to spend that money on a yacht you could at least make it look beautiful as well!

I mean blow on peak oil, not roll.

And in the new age of wind, we need an experienced king of wind ... any suggestions/nominations?

There are freight ships which use kites to help, and the Tres Hombres is a new Dutch sailing freight ship. They now have plans for a sailing container ship too.

I've always fancy a trip on a freighter - one on a sailing freighter would be even better! Hopefully though it would be better looking than the Maltese Falcon .

I'd suggest that there are plenty of people in the world's governments with an unrivalled knowledge and experience of the generation of wind...

Interesting view of Falmouth Bay, never seen that angle before.
