Thingiverse designer and owner of byctrldesign.nl Maarten Kurver entered his design for a kite powered bottle boat into Thingiverse's science design challenge Make It Float. The design requires only a handful of 3D printable parts used to hold together two repurposed plastic bottles. The small kite can be used to power the boat, or users are free to design their own kite or sail mechanism.
