Nobody's seen it because it doesn't exist. It is a pipe dream. Notice on
the site there are no photographs of it in action. Just drawings. It
can't work. You cannot harness enough wind power with a windmill on a
boat to make the entire untethered vessel proceed directly upwind. It
isn't going to happen because it defies the laws of physics.

Scammers like this can always count on donations from the gullible. Probably
was the reason it was posted here in the first place.
