Assisted Wind Propulsion. Towards zero-emission maritime transport.

The problem we want to solve is to extend the capacity of sails, to use wind energy to directly move a ship, to a system where energy can also be extracted and manipulated in such a way as to optimize the energy balance of a trip. considering the partly predictable variability of the wind.

The goal of this project is to demonstrate that a return to Zero Emission commercial shipping is possible and, in particular, that it is possible using wind power.
