Believe it or not,  a wind powered landing craft did  briefly exist.   See  the picture "The Barge From Crete"  as shown  here  :-  https://nzhistory.govt.nz/media/photo/the-barge-crete-peter-mcintyre

A quite remarkable story!

The original intent is that these would be used by the Dutch Marines during the Raid on the Medway,
but as they were found to be complete pigs under sail they weren't used.

Beat me to it Kit  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

LCM & wingfoil, yellow : hybrid aircraft/animals e.a.


using bits and pieces :
fuel tank from a Lightning
and wings from a Yak-15

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Going super fast, until it hits the shallows. Then the troops are launched from the launch. Gets you ashore real quick!
