HISTORY of the dynarig

The DynaRig is a modern sail system dating back to the early 1960s. The concept was initially developed by Wilhelm Prölß, a German engineer, who envisioned a way to make large sailing vessels more efficient and easier to handle. His goal was to create a square-rigged sail system that eliminated many of the traditional limitations of sailing rigs.
