Skysails is the genre of engineering science that uses extensive utilization of wind energy to move a vessel in the
seawater. The 'Skysails' technology allows the towing kite to gain a height of anything between 100 metres - 300
metres. The sailing kite is made in such a way that it can be raised to its proper elevation and then brought back
with the help of a 'telescopic mast' that enables the kite to be raised properly and effectively.
