Wow... The innovation... Sails on ships... Next they add wheels to sleighs, These nerdy bastards

Rather than usual sails these are solid and foldable and act more like plane wings

I mean sails form an aerofoil but these are ridged aerofoils.

Its actually better than sails as they can be folded away and there are no masts That could hinder the ship driving under a bridge.
