The real kicker is labor cost per ton. Bigger ships don’t have a proportionately bigger crew. And sailboats were quite labor intensive.

- qmmmur 3y agoSounds like you just “created some jobs”
- gofixurcode 3y agoIt’s totally possible that manipulating the sails and rigging is motorized and automated on these ships. Would be interested to see a demo of the operation of this ship.
