They may be pushing it, but this method of powering sledges has been around since before Scott went to the south pole.  The sail may not produce enough power to actuallly move the sled, but it means that 5 people are doing the work of 6 - with the sail making the difference

Except for when the wind isn't blowing and then it's 5 people doing the
work of 7. As Scott found out I believe.
