Re: I still believe it impossible - in any way.
Yes, it would be interesting watching a yacht start off downwind on a dead flat run, get up speed faster than the wind so have to start tacking into the dead ahead wind, then because of that not be able to outrun the wind any more, so back we go onto a flat run again, up to speed faster than the wind, back to headwind and tacking, etc, etc.
