Sure, wind assisted, not driven. They're getting a bit of fuel savings from the sails rather than operating purely on wind.

    At 90% fuel savings, its the ICE engines doing the assisting. Think about it.

    That's their aim. I aim to own a fully electric solar powered yacht to live on in the Caribbeans. Doesn't mean I'll ever achieve it. Best realistic values I've seen were closer to 30% fuel reduction.
