AFAIK there are a few companies that have been adding electric drive systems to sailboats that actually do work this way, not only can it be used to maneuver around when the wind is uncooperative but it can generate power when the wind is good, basically acting as a "hybrid" of sorts where hypothetically given enough battery storage and maybe some solar it could be possible to never have to plug in or run a combustion generator.
