1300001 2012-09-10 06:52:00 Its a ****ing SAIL its meant to catch the wind, what were they thinking..... DeSade (984)
1300002 2012-09-10 07:03:00 I wonder if the “Maori Wind” was trying to put a sail on a Locomotive and thereby claim NZ Rail, which they can then sell to the Chinese, and fund a couple of Hui’s and Hangi’s? ;) B.M. (505)

Goodness! Sacrilege! This magnificent piece is art, which is inspired, not designed. All this vibrations and fatigue stuff is from a radically different culture, nothing to do with art.

I understand all the design work was done by Hone Heke and Associates, a division of Alan Reay Consultants Ltd. ;)
