Kite For Sail makes the KITV 4 news

http://kiteforsail.com/press/6.htm The world needs all types of alternative energy to ensure a strong and healthy future for our environment. The new era of sail-power wont see the return of square rigged barques or clipper ships, but rather the introduction of high-tech kite sails that generate greater propulsion power than conventional sails. These can be used to supplement the propulsion systems of all kinds of cargo vessels and in the process generate economic benefit, reduce reliance on fossil fuels and deliver emission reductions in a sector that has become one of the world's biggest polluters. The art of flying a kite and sailing across the ocean is Spectacular. We have a great team that decided to troll some lines while testing off the island of Maui. Kite For Sail is not only breaking ground with new sailing techniques using kite-sails for power, they are using their kiteboat to troll for open ocean fish such as ono, mahi mahi and tuna. After years of kite system development, Dan Tracy, Ian Fisher and Wes Wendler decided to have some fun and go fishing. Using a small outboard engine, they motored out of the calm bay and into the brisk winds where an eighteen meter kite was launched. Immediately the boat powered up as the kite reached operating altitude. The engine was lifted and the boat began to sail at 8 to 10 knots, a perfect trolling speed. Wahooo !!! Several lures were deployed and set into a tempting pattern. Unlike conventional sailing rigs, kite-sails stabilize the hull with a lifting force. The crew kicked back to enjoy the smooth stable ride as they sailed out into the Pacific Ocean. Upon reaching the fishing grounds birds were spotted and the short lure took a massive strike. The kiteboat was steered windward to slow its speed. The other lines were cleared and soon the silver color of an ono appeared under the boat. Dan, Ian and Wes felt fortunate to have caught such beautiful fish and attributed their success to the quiet running of the boat. The fishermen were pleased because they had caught fish and trolled for three hours with no engine. Taking action and developing new beneficial technology is a rewarding experience. The future is looking good. All aboard, Don't miss the Boat ! www.kiteforsail.com
