The theory of kitesailing is applied to several types of watercraft: displacement craft, planing craft, and hydrofoils. The activities of the authors over the past several years are documented, and future plans are discussed. The primary focus is on the technology which can allow monohulls to regain the speed advantage now held by multihulls, while retaining the seakindliness advantages of monohulls, including the ability to provide safe transportation to port after dismasting at sea.<BR clear = "left"> </P> <CENTER> <P> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="5" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH="90%"> <CAPTION> <H2><U>Contents</U> </CAPTION> <TR> <TD WIDTH="50%"><A HREF="ST89intro.html"><B>Symbols</B></A></TD> <TD WIDTH="50%"><A HREF="ST89intro.html"><B>1.
