This sounded very wrong to me, so I googled and apparently they had a setup where the reflected air from the sail caused a net flow in the opposite direction allowing them to move forwards. But that is less effective than just blowing the air straight backwards without a sail.

Look for the sail car video from Veritasium. With a chain drive you can out run the wind using the principles of sail propulsion.
