Have to agree with John on that... Not sure the square footage of that sail would have done much good.
Think it would work, but speed would probably be like.. a knot, maybe 2, with a good stiff wind behind them... Maybe... 
Regardless, it would definitely be slow going. & then having to derig the sail & dive.. no emotors as you can't recharge them... basically, a sitting wounded duck... dead meat.
The use of that uboat, is as good as stick a fork in it.. it's toast.
If you got back & able to grab a new boat, if able & continue.. if not, then start a new career.

Plus, this sub was close to shore via somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic with hostile ships nearby after being depth charged.
Interesting story never the less; thanks Anvar1061.
