> Fuel costs are borne by the lessee of the boat but sail costs are capital expenditures borne by the lessor. tbf, that one's pretty easily resolved by financiers if fuel costs of typical operational use are greater than the capital costs of the masts amortised over the expected life of the vessel and the ropes and sails amortised over the expected life of the ropes and sales. There's an established market for leasing aircraft and aero engines whose value is a function of fuel economy and how much the lessees' use devalues their life limited parts.
