Nope. Sails work by deflecting sea sprites. From personal experience,
I can tell you that a particular class of sprite sprite called sojo
(in Japanese) can be extremely troublesome and can loose you a lot of
sailing races -if you have alcohol on board. Lift faries like to sit
on wings (when they are not flying) and have no interest in vertical
sails at all.
