i've been lamenting that, the days when people would load their sailboats with cargo and sail around the bay ended centuries ago, and i could'nt do that today.

I like the designs BUT labor costs are going to be too high to run a truly classic rigged vessel. I can see he really wants to bring back both as opportunities. Seawing and low maintenance, higher efficiency automated designs will lead the way. Why would I ever build a vessel that requires 12 full time staff when I can automate almost all of it with seawing and some electrics and maybe 2 to 4 crew?

Not that it is a dumb idea it isn't on the small scale. on the large there is now way.
Lets do some simple math though. How many wooden sail cargo boats will it take to replace one mid sized container cargo ship? Well the largest sailing cargo ship had a capacity of 8960 tons one 40 foot container can carry 30 tons. that's 300 "40 foot" containers. And a average container ship can carry 10,000
containers you finish the math.
Never mind there is no fully rigged sailing ship that can accommodate even one Intermodal container. and i dont see the whole way a shipping items to change back to the way it was 150 years ago.

And lastly using a ban on petrol and diesel cars in the UK to start a video for sailing cargo vessels is dumb. because no ban has yet been announced world wide. Is pretty low.
And there is no way the UK will ever meet that 2030 deadline to go 100% electric in eight years.

This looks like an excellent idea. I do hope there are safety systems in place as well.

Sorry diesel powered ships are going nowhere soon.
