Inuit's remarks reminded Liszt that both cross and longitudinal sails were types of sails, and a big ship could have two or three masts; so why not hang both cross and longitudinal sails at the same time?
With a fair wind, raise the cross sails and it would surge forward; against the wind, raise the longitudinal sails for serpentine maneuvering.
This would essentially allow the sailboat to move freely at sea at all times, greatly shortening the voyage time. Moreover, Liszt seemed to recall that during Earth's Age of Exploration, many sailboats had triangular longitudinal sails at the bow and stern, with cross sails in the middle.
It was upon hearing Inuit's suggestion that Liszt immediately ordered the shipbuilders in the dockyard to diligently research mixed sailboats.
However, regarding Inuit's suggestion to use wood to fix the sails, since it was dismissed by several veteran shipbuilders as impractical at the time, Liszt did not pay much attention to it.
