Abstract

The invention relates to a water craft comprising a kite-type element, which is connected to the water craft by means of a traction cable. Said water craft is characterized in that the kite-type element is equipped with adjusting devices and an energy generation unit, which delivers energy when the tractive force that is exerted on the traction cable is modified.
