I know I'm late to the party with my comments, but here goes:
The brokerage company that I was with at the time did about half sail, half power.
They had a very nice sloop, 46 or 47 LOA, with an Aero Rig.
I, with some other brokers, were invited to go for a sail.
I thought it was the bee's knees when we did a jibe and the sails gently came around--as opposed to my usual experience (in racing) of all that laundry come hurtling across the decks.
Plus, you handled the sails with one string! Neat!
I learned a lot about sailors from this boat: they are very conservative, and virtually nobody wanted to buy that poor owner's boat for a very long time.
Just too 'different', I suppose.
