" (The capacity of the ship, however, is much smaller than the largest modern container ships, which can hold more than 20,000 shipping containers; Anemos can carry around 1,000 tons of cargo on pallets.)"
Thanks for the crap comparison. Why would you use two different descriptions of cargo capacity that most readers could only vaguely compare?
I looked it up, and for the benefit of everyone else: it seems a fully loaded shipping container can weigh over 30 tons.
In other words, the sailboat can carry about 30 shipping containers worth of cargo. This is a lot less than I initially would have thought. A whole lot less. If the big fossil fuel cargo ships can do 20,000 loaded containers, that would mean the sailboat can only do what could practically be a rounding error. 0.15%
