Abstract
A mooring system for deploying a payload in a fluid moving relative to the payload and placing the payload to a position across moving path of the fluid from an anchoring point, the mooring system comprises: a main tether; an anchor means attached to a first end of the main tether and fixed to the anchoring point; and a main sail means attached to a second end of the main tether and immersed in the fluid; wherein the payload is attached to the second end of the main tether; and the fluid moving relative to the main sail means creates a fluid dynamic lift force on the main sail means and pulls the payload in a lateral direction with respect to the moving path of the fluid
