Yes, but the ship is very light weight, so you get a good power/mass ratio.

Finding stats for the
Olympias under sail is proving difficult. It's not online that I can see, and my manila folders of yellowing Xeroxes have gone wandering, but if you assume that the sail generates slightly more power than the rowing crew, it would follow that speed under sail would be slightly higher than under oars.
