This invention has been tried before and doesn't work for some reason, but weighing more than a sail has to be a factor. See wave powered boat or solar powered boat, or johnson thermo-electrochemical conversion system that may be repurposed to power a boat.
It uses the new wind turbines that use rotating wings to capture wind from any direction at any point in time, then attach that electricity generation to a battery that then powers an electric outboard motor.
The centripetal acceleration is good for stabilizing the boat so that it won't capsize. And it should work even better in stronger winds as long as the turbines can rotate at the highest speeds of hurricane winds without breaking. But for that you could just have some kind of automatic breaking system, like maybe magnetic breaks for whenever the turbines are spinning too fast.
