I read this short story in the Boy Scout magazine.

"The Wind from the Sun" by Arthur C. Clarke, a short story (in an anthology of the same name) describing a solar sail craft Earth-Moon race.

It was originally published under the name "Sunjammer" but when Clarke learned of the short story of the same name by Poul Anderson, he quickly changed it.

You can probably find the anthology at Amazon.

Today the foot ball games didn't impress me so I watched Turner Classic Movies SciFi films marathon. Heinlein's "Destination Moon" was outstanding. A real space spectacular.

I seem to remember that the book Planet of the Apes, had a brief passage about a sail on a spacecraft, while setting up the real story.
