Wrong. Koru is the largest sailing yacht , ie as the words mean it sails using the wind. All by itself, no engine no tugboats, no maglev rails. Sailing Yacht A is a larger vessel but it is a sail assisted vessel, meaning it cannot sail by itself, it needs engines to help move it along. That is not sailing. Should be easy enough to understand. What isn't is the last paragraph in this piece. Where on earth did you dig up that nerdic statement - The main peculiarity of this yacht is it moves driven by the kinetic energy generated by its huge sails. This mechanism transforms the movement of the ship into energy, but if the wind does not blow, it has a powerful motor. In other words Ladies and Gentlemen, when the wind blows the boat moves forward, ie it sails. Very peculiar indeed. My ghast is flabbered.
