    If it’s a sailboat, it’s supposed not to use motors most of the time anyway. Sailboats use solar panels and wind generators since they became available.

    Now, if it’s not a real sailboat, but a electric motorboat with a sail just for helping, then it does not deserve the environmental badge. Solar panel power is not significant enough to move a boat, comparing to real sails.
