Will Sailboats Still Be Made in 30 Years?

[comesatime]

Or will sailboats be mostly replaced by hybrid technology?

Cruising boats with solar generating topsides (like the Tesla Roof), wind generators instead of sails, wave/current energy converters plus a small backup diesel engine all providing electricity to highly efficient battery and propulsion systems could provide unlimited, zero emission range and comfort to wander the world.

While I love sailing, learning how to sail is a big barrier to entry and powerboats are really expensive to run.

What do you think?
