On the surface we might question the application of this grand achievement, but decades later we may see the brilliance!

I was sailing ice boats 55 years ago. I'll give him an "Attaboy" for his use of modern materials, but he didn't build anything that is usable for average transportation. Now, if he had built it with a rotor sail to power a generator which charged a battery for motor power and accessories and also provided motive power. he would have really done something. A rotor sail will provide power no matter from which direction the wind is coming. He does have a real nice super specialized sport toy though.
