Omer wing sail

I was trying to find out how the wing sail on the new Oracle cup boat operated and was controlled when I ran across this Omer wing sail

According to the maker, it's a wing sail that's easily controlled, reefable, goes faster and heels less. It's designed to retrofit onto existing boats, but if you already have an unstayed mast it would be a big plus. I would love to see one in action.
