Sounds logical, though that sail looks a bit too small to me.

"Sounds logical, though that sail looks a bit too small to me."
I suspect that it's partly the fault of perspective -- the kite would be quite a distance from the ship. Also, the article says that the winds higher up would be stronger than at the surface.
I don't know how large the kite in the picture is supposed to be. A 5,000 sq. meter kite would be about 50 feet by 100 feet.

It looks like they are running before the wind. How do you sail into the wind?
