I’ve seen these kite-based attempts, but I kinda wonder what a 21st century tall ship would look like? Start talking about dacron or kevlar sails with carbon fiber yards and amsteel lines all run by winches by computer control.
There’s a French company that is doing this, they’ve settled on a pair of rigid sails for their first ship. I saw an article saying that they’ve started construction, but the only images of the ship itself are all rendered so I guess it’s not operational yet.

This is going to show up in some prepper’s search results and he’s gonna be so confused.
