    Interesting. One thing I wonder about is the impact of wind direction on performance. The company website says that the wind needs to be at least 70 degrees off the bow, but I couldn't find anything on propulsive force as a function of wind direction.

    I'd think the economics would be far better if the system can be used on both legs of a round trip, rather than only one way.
