If you talk about the fair-transport guys who sail in old vessels, well yeah, it's quite romantic, for sure. But when it comes to the dyna-riggers, I think this has a lot potential on the main sipping-lanes when used in hybrid-context. The basic idea of the rigg is from the 70's and there is surely a reason why only one commercial ship of that type (the falcon) was built so far. Maybe it an issue about oil-prices ... time will tell. And after all, aren’t we all play NA becaus we like romantic daydreams? :-D
