As I mentioned before,
motor is an option for the ships,
but powered by the turbine from the friction of the water.
It will need time to charge again
and will rotate its role with the sails,
and will be slower travel overall.
But why not?
Leave the speedy travel to metal ships
of which I designed previously.
That has more safety features built in
with interlocking buoyancy cubes
and can be built on water.
It can also use the self-welding feature
as shown on the water-sealing cubes...
If it's about ship building regulation,
well, that should become more flexible
provided it has more safety.....
