    From what I’ve seen it’s kites acting as sails so you aren’t bound to using a mast which takes a lot of space and limits your sail area

      I think they are actually proper kites flying rather high (at least compared to regular sails) in approximate 300 m AGL.

      The big difference is that at this hight there is significantly stronger wind.
