It would better run on sea surface crude oil, that's be cleaner. Who cares about carbon, really?
Seriously, I like these finn sails, will look into what they've done.
Cars can be made to work pretty much like cars, as long as there's some wind blowing. Parking equals filling up batteries.

I remember what I read in a book about the beginnings of the
environmental movement...
"Ferry customers on the Detroit river were taken aback by their boats
cutting through the two feet of discharged lubricating oil on the surface
of the river only to display the orange colored water, due to mining
wastes, underneath."

I'd rather have rotating magnus effect carbon composite cylinder sails
myself.

I'm after a combination of that, and wind props that are driven by underwater props, or the other way around.
Make them all collapsible, and you can work with any wind direction and strength.
I posted this else where. The chiney type sails could be telescopic. Not there for tail winds, when the wind props come out.
