So you think a sailboat could be made to use surface effect lift?

I think it may be possible, but I can't think of a good way
to use sails to get the pressure under the wing built up
enough to gain enough lift. With another power source, it
could be done much more easily but then it would only be a
sailboat dependent on lifting motors.
