Not only it is the largest wing sail ever built, it is the largest *wing* ever built. It's larger than the wing on a 747-400, an Antonov AN-225, or Howard...
I am well aware of how the DW arrangement works. If PBF is going to be that involved in the process, they (she?) is not going to see any advantage to it. Saves...
