They didn't sail, at least not while I was there
It was fun to see them being marched around, but while I was there (11-11:45 am) they were not under sail power at any time. At least this was easy to get to, and not super-overcrowded like I've heard Ipswich was last Saturday.
If they needed more wind in order to sail, they should have picked Copley Square rather than City Hall Plaza.
Or Norwood.

They need room to sail
And room isn't something they would have with all the people around at City Hall (or up on Crain Beach), so they were led around by the noses, basically.
City Hall Plaza is really large
and Crane Beach is huge (several miles long). So I don't think lack of room is the problem here.
Yes, that is true ...
I was thinking of all the people crowding around them, however. But see the message below about Crane Beach.
They went under their own power at Crane's
Happened before I got there...
But clear in this video.
