What happens if you cruise at 20 knots and the wind never gets greater? What good those sails would do, even if the engine was a power assist there still would be the constant battle with the sails. If the wind gave way and the engine chugging away like normal the sails would then fill in opposite direction acting as parachute inciting the option to take to sails down or go slower as to let the sail fill again losing precious time in the busy time hungry world.
True here where I live in Washington state in the town I live in there was a hardware company that made static hard drives for the goverment and for those black box's in airplanes. Most people in town never heard of the place. Only until after they left for another town did I meet someone that knew about the place just because his mom used to work there and big some big wig.
