The launch and recovery system manages the deployment and lowering of the towing kite and is installed on the forecastle. During launch a telescopic mast lifts the towing kite, which is reefed like an accordion, from its storage compartment. At sufficient height the towing kite then unfurls to its full size and can be launched. A winch releases the towing rope until operating altitude has been reached. The recovery process is performed in reverse order.The entire launch and recovery procedure is carried out largely automatically and lasts approx. 10-20 mins each.
