    Wait, why does this not sound fine? Oceanic cargo is basically the most tolerant of the the reduced speed you might see.
    They’re not claiming to have invented sail power, just to have made a way to make it viable for modern container ships.

      Small correction on a right thinking comment: modern for any kind of ship other than container ships. Although if it takes off (which is something people have been talking about for 20 years), someone will eventually figure out how to stick some kind of sale on a post-Panamax boxship.
