As this history video reports, the magnificent Canopée boat using AYRO OceanWings sails was first prototyped on a small scale. https://youtu.be/2t8NGhnZl0I This Proof-of-Concept can be found in the next line of our 2016 news. A Proof-of-Concept is indeed the physical demonstration of the viability of the essential principle of the concept, while temporarily neglecting all that is secondary and a priori feasible. Ma Jun (237 A.D.) masterfully defined the demonstrator's approach with this phrase: "Empty arguments with words can in no way compare with a real trial that will show practical results".
