It doesn't sound like it is suitable for short tacking or ghosting, or for anyone that actually enjoys sailing. In fact, you don't really need to be involved with sailing the boat at all, it can be fully automatic making those tough decisions about whether to sail or motor for you. Combine that with the automatic routing in the thread below, integrate with your autopilot and you can just head down below for a peaceful nap while heading down the ICW

"From a purist’s point of view, the Winelec won’t provide a satisfying sailing experience. To come about, the sail must first be furled into its booms, after which the assembly is shuttled over the arches to the other side of the boat before it can be opened on the new tack. Not only that, the rig won’t point any higher than 50 degrees to the apparent wind—it is most efficient between 80 and 160 degrees— though that won’t bother those who contend that gentlemen don’t sail to weather. Should your destination lie upwind, you just make the rig disappear back under the deck, and the silent motors do the rest.

In fact, the boat could decide that for you. Seagate’s Cruise Control software (under development) will weigh up wind direction, sea state, COG current and boatspeed to decide if power or sail or a combination of both is the most efficient way of getting you to your destination."
