| 释义 |
EquipmentKiteboating uses different types of gear from kitesurfing. Kites attached to boats can be larger than kites attached to a surfer. For long voyages, the kite rig must be more autonomously controlled. Due to the lifting power of kites, they are often used with hydrofoils.[2] Current kite rigs can be sailed within 50 degrees of the wind.[1] Placing turbines in the boat's hull can let the kite power generate electricity on board.[3] HistoryGoing back to 1800s, George Pocock used the kites in order to increase the size of propel carts that are found in land and boats.{{citation needed|date=March 2017}} Sébastien Cattelan is the French kitesurfer was the first sailor who was able to break 50 knots, achieving 50.26 knots on 3 October 2008 at the Lüderitz Speed Challenge in Namibia.[4] Next, on 14 November 2009, Alex Caizergues achieved a speed of 50.98 knots in Nambia.
