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

Related tech, I think someone’s been working on spinning cylinders as sails. They’re omnidirectional or something, pretty cool. But industry dummies fret over sails on cargo ships because “muh cranes”. Like bro, we’ve split the atom, we’ve put people on the moon, we edit DNA, we have quantum computing, someday we’ll have nuclear fusion… And y’all say you can’t figure out how to stack boxes around a freaking pole, or maybe have an enclosed deck that side loads? Just a little bit of a work around to help our planet not turn into Venus?
Rotor ships are old tech! They existed and worked in the 1920s!
Let’s combine ships and trains. Tug a bunch of engineless freight ships out to sea and then link them up with a ship with huge efficient sails that can tow a bunch of open ocean container barges. No idea if it’s practical or not but I like the idea of sailing trains.

supersoldierssuper swimmers.I’m guessing braking without (1) causing a pile-up or (2) snapping the tow-lines will be a problem.
