People should try make boats driven by wind energy! ;)

Yeah I'm wondering if they put a sail on it, I bet the combined efficiency would be great

Fundamental flaw: How would they monetize the wind?

How fast do you need your shipment delivered?
Ferry people from here to there?
Start a slave trade on a distant continent and ship them there?
Eco-friendly shark fin harvesting?
Lots of options by sea and by wind.

A sail would add pros and cons but also throw a lot of shade, even if you had clever rigging.
IMO, the best option would be to add a turbosail like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcyone_(ship) for minimal shade and maximum efficiency

That's crazy.
We'd see it everywhere if it actually worked.. ;-)
