A watercraft 4 with wind propulsion, in which a freely flying kite-like element 101 on which wind acts and with a wing profile as an exclusive, auxiliary or emergency propulsion system, is connected to the vessel only via a hawser 1.1 which may spread out into a number of holding cables, in that the element 101 on which wind acts can be varied via at least one active drive element 1.2 including a winch, which is provided close to or adjacent the element 101 on which wind acts and is operatively connected to it, by variation of its aerodynamic effect for guidance to and holding in a predetermined position with respect to the watercraft 4 and/or for dynamic manoeuvring, in particular on predetermined flight paths, characterized in that a plurality of control lines form a matrix-like arrangement, with different control lines being driven in a combined form via a jointly driven operating element.
