    I found a couple of videos by a guy who has designed and is marketing kite sails for boats. Outstanding. He even shows a rig for sail control and sort of a bow mounted kind of rudder. All very doable for me and a fun project. So this is not rocket science just a little ingenuity and patience. Thanks for the suggestions. When done I'll post a video with the boat "under kite" and a view of the GPS showing SOG. Paul PS On the video I'll put a couple of trolled up fish as well.
