    About time too. I remember reading Arthur C Clark'S short story Sunjammer from the 1960s when it was serialised in "Speed and Power" magazine in the 70s about a solar sail race. I ended up writing a set of solar sailing rules that were published in Ragnarok back in the 90s, and we came close to releasing them as a pukka set along with miniatures :)
