A Tepuke sails on the Baltic. This seems like fulfillment of the ancient prophecy “When a crab claws the northern sea then the dreaded Old Ones shall return.” Or something.

Thanks to Yurek for the submission!
Thanks!
Yurek, Wade, IMHO this study describes how system works in general. Aerodynamic analysis which would take aeroelasticity into consideration are still missing, I’m afraid.
Studies of rigid models says nothing adequate, I believe, so there is a work to be done
Agreed, Janusz, but at least here’s a start. I think all the money is going into foiling studies, not crabclaws :-(
At least my time and money goes on proas and crabclaws 😊
Wonderful. I am still waiting for an aerodynamic study of those sails. Has any been done recently?
