Ecocat Wing-drive
Hi
A friend filmed my ECOCAT some year ago and I have converted the film in a Video Clip. Here is possible to se how the WING-DRIVE works in light wind and in combination with motor. The use of Spinnaker in combination with a Wing Sail is unique.

The Spinnaker has no connection to the deck and follows the wind shift with the Wing-Drive

self trimming spinnaker
How about this self trimming spinnaker? Course changes and wind shift doesn’t affect the trimming of the spinnaker.
