If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

So essentially they are just the modern version of the clipper ship.  It makes a lot of sense to me if the investment and labor are not too high. 

Do you think this would require specially trained or skilled crew who can handle the sail?  Would a computer do all the navigating taking wind into account?

How well would those container ships handle the additional starts and stops?
