A typical 'inventor', all I see is a guy struggling with his own intelligence, while the others in the pics are having a blast.

If the pics showed him planing/gybing I'd be a little more interested...

May be OK straight downwind, but not much good for anything else.

It looks like a variation of the fan-sail that appeared (fleetingly) many years ago.
The 'advantage' of a fan-sail was that you didn't need to flip your rig during a flare-gybe....
You still need to switch feet, but your hands never leave the boom.
Cool hey.

Maybe he is just poor and had to make his own rig?

Frightening, it brings a new dimension to the term "bat winging" - essentially running dead down wind with your sails sheeted out to the max.

I would hate to have been his son when he pulled that contraption out in front of all your sailing mates.
