Seems quite feasible for a space-only application. Only real problem is when you're somewhere that tends to cause the sail to collapse.

Quite right, it doesn't really allow for cruising speed, though I suppose you could have the craft generate an electrostatic field that would repel the sail and keep it inflated.
