      This boat can move with the power of wind alone, just using this big sheet! No motor or oars necessary! Just don’t bring it out on a windless day.

      If they could add a flap and slight airfoil shape to the panel it could be an advantage in the wind.

      Also if it can propel itself up post the clouds it wouldn’t have to land for days.
