The future of the shipping industry may be the use of sails

I've been following this for a couple of years and I really believe that this is an answer for our own US Navy for resupply ships in a time of emergency

That's really neat. I have always thought that sails would be perfect for those huge supertankers nowadays. Thanks for posting!

It looked horrendous, but I hope the final product works. And looks more aesthetically pleasing.
