Saildrone- autonomous sailing vessels for ocean monitoring.

[AMann]

Always thought about making an autonomous sailing model but now they are legit. Saildrones are interesting oceangoing autonomous robots that can be fixed with ocean and weather monitoring equipment. NOAA recently sailed one into the middle of a hurricane with 125 mile per hour winds and 50 foot waves.They’ve sailed successfully across the Atlantic and circumnavigated Antarctica and are also being used for offshore surveillance.
