    I swear to God that beeb reporter HAD to be taking the piss when he wrote that. It’s so fucking oniony the way he wrote it. “Special wind-powered sails” as opposed to the ether I guess. He goes out of his way to ignore sailing ships or compare it to them. We see you Tom.

      Tbf, they’re not normal sails in the traditional sense. They’re made entirely out of metal and are shaped much differently than what old school sailboats had. But yeah, I agree it does sound kinda funny.
