I just don't see as patent-worthy the concept of sticking a sail on something to allow the wind to push it. Sails have been around for thousands of years.

It's as lame as adding a wheel to something so it will roll instead of slide. Or putting a sign on something with instructions. Or putting an ON button on a device.
