If they can make a car go 70mph with an electric motor, why not an

Seems like any assist would be worth while considering large yachts go
thru 1000's of gallons of fuel.
If you want a yacht assist that runs off of solar power, the cheapest,
best tried and true method is called sails.

I thought sails used wind.
Wind is solar energy, it's the product of the sun heating air.
A very small percentage of the wind on the planet is a "product of the
sun heating air".
In that case you'll now post what causes the rest??? Even the migration
of the various entire systems from the west to the east is directly
related to the sun.
Anyway if you think otherwise I for one will read your explanation with
interest.
