Abstract

Disclosed is a wind-powered watercraft (4) in which at least one free-flying kite-type wind-attacked element (1) having a profiled wing is connected to the vessel body only via a traction rope as the exclusive, an auxiliary, or an emergency drive unit. Said watercraft (4) is characterized in that control means are provided which dynamically guide the wind-attacked element (1) comprising a profiled wing (101) on a helical or sinusoidal trajectory that is closed from the perspective of the watercraft but extends substantially in a vertical direction relative to the air flow, at a velocity vector running essentially perpendicular to the air flow of the wind. The different trajectories or a static flying state can be variably selected by the control means in accordance with the course, direction of wind, wind speed, gustiness, and/or motion of the sea.
