I’m not sure sail is even viable, as in not compatible with modern capitalism. Most shipping has some sort of schedule or deadline, and you can’t just take an extra month “ because we were becalmed”
Although I was also going to object based on more complex harbors, but that leads right to battery power. Right where all the shipping, all the emissions, all the pollution comes together where it can harm people ……. Why not battery-only, while in harbor?

And for that matter, battery power as a backup when you’re becalmed as well.
Hell, even fossil fuel power as a backup would be better than fossil fuel power as the main and only power source.
