The sails used by large ships now are rigid. They are angled by motors, they are depowered by being stalled

These ships can use wind to push them forward or rearward, accelerate or brake. They don't need additional crew, they don't need any specially trained crew

Interesting, haven't seen such a sailship. I've just been on the Norwegian training ships.
