I hate to admit it but Jonathan is right and Mooron is wrong.

There is a 'solar wind.' It consists of charged particles and
it is strong enough to make it all the way to the heliopause.

These charged particles bouncing off the solar sails impart
small forces in the direction away from the sun and the sails
are propelled away at very high velocities though the acceleration is
rather uninspiring.


Calling a recurring wave of charged particles a "Wind"..... well it's
cute and all... but Ganz and Ozone think it's a breeze and you can set
your sails to the wind!
