    Neat - these things usually show up in the news as a render and then you never hear about it again. Being actually built full-scale is pretty cool.

    Sails obviously work, the two questions with an automated metal sail for cargo ships are cost and reliability. Making moving parts that don’t break down in high wind and salt water isn’t easy.
