Tbf, they're not normal sails in the traditional sense. They're made entirely out of metal and are shaped much differently than what old school sailboats had. But yeah, I agree it does sound kinda funny.
And I guess these sails don't require a huge crew constantly adjusting ropes and canvas. If it performs well that's a huge innovation in sailing.
