Ehh, I don't like the willfully obtuse statements in response to this. They're talking about wind powering the electronics, which a normal sailboat wouldn't.
Still stupid. Though, a potentially interesting emergency technology. Too bad it probably has terrible efficiency that has already reached its upper limits
It's an interesting tech. Omni directional turbines can shave about fifteen percent of the fuel on a trip. No way wind is replacing combustion engines, but it can assist.
Wouldn't that be a sailboat?

It's pretty ugly though.
Form matters too, dammit! How the FUCK would that get under bridges like a lot of trade routes require
