A number of navies have a tall ship — a large, old-style sailing ship — that they use for training. I believe that they also use them for ceremonies and maybe recruiting and stuff. Kind of a prestige thing, if they can scrape together the funds to have one.
The US has the USCGC Eagle for the Coast Guard and the USS Constitution — the oldest commissioned warship afloat — for the Navy.
Training with sails? The Mexican Navy has to have boats with motors right?

Sails require no fuel, and will never require fuel.
What other forms of transportation require no fuel? Think about that for a minute. Sailing is badass.
The US has boats with motors. We also still train sailors to sail.
