Answer 2

All sailboats run on solar powered wind.

Answer 3

There are a few experimental boats that were built to demonstrate solar power.  None of these have been successful.  On boats, sail mostly, solar power has been used for years to recharge batteries and operate things like vents. These solar panels are expensive and don't produce a lot of power.  The Boating world, needs more innovation and practical solar power.
