Honestly if they've improved the efficiency of sails then that's great, but this marketting text is still silly enough to go here.

    i don't think lateen yacht rigging is that transferrable to cargo, maybe someone's trying to up-scale it that way too... but looking at old clippers it seems very challenging

        damn, that sounds cool. it might be more expensive or not automated enough wrt trimming (surely they could figure this out) & that's why the op sort of thing are getting more hype

        or the op type is gadgetbahn snakeoil and actual sail-powered cargo will eventually be mostly automatic clippers
