First voyage by a new, purpose designed, sailing cargo ship completed -- with teething problems, admittedly.
But this is the only way we're going to be able to continue intercontinental trade into the second half of this century, so I'm glad to see it.

This one has more details. One of the cool things is that it can be fitted to current vessels easily. I hope it's not just more greenwashing though.

It doesn't give any figures as to how much fuel the ships save, but kinda cool regardless.

For good or ill the British empire was delivered by sail power. A quarter of the planet was seized on wings of wind.
And this was when we could barely manage to claw a few degrees upwind.
Sailing's way easier (and safer) now. Our grasp of aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, material science competency and other needful skills are vastly better than when sail power delivered a successful alien invasion.
So yeah, "there's potential." We only need remember it.
