If they can make a car go 70mph with an electric motor, why not an
electric motor asist for large yachts,(50-60 ft) run off batteries
that are charged off a solar array situated on the canopy.
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.
Then again, petroleum based fuel is also just stored solar power from a
long time ago.

Interesting. So, you are, in essence, saying that the only component
of fossil fuels is sun?
