In fact SkySails are much more efficient than conventional sails and have been used to help carry large cargo ships in northern Europe. What makes such a high speed possible is the trimaran hulls and foam core / kevlar / carbon fibre hulls and superstructure (similar to Ermis2) giving very low displacement. It is launched using something like a rising mast between the first and second bulkhead, exactly where you can see the hatch from which the cable emanates.
