Is this the future for a commercially viable junk rig?

    Fascinating.  Beneteau are developing this wing sail. 

    Note no mention of any junk rig heritage!

    • Based on the junk rig but borrowing from experimenters' more sophisticated developments? 
    • Same advantages of the junk rig? 
    • Will Beneteau have the technology and capital to make their "junk rig" mainstream? 

    Anyway I would like one for Xmas!!! Maybe Beneteau will sell the battens separately!
