Greater minds than mine have looked into "Dynamic Soaring" at the Heliopause.
I think that such thinking may have merit for both Venus and Mars.

Dynamic Soaring as a Means to Exceed the Solar Wind Speed
Mathias N. Larrouturou, Andrew J. Higgins, Jeffrey K. Greason
So, inertia of the device that would soar, is not the same sort of concern as for trying to accelerate a load to outer reaches beyond the edge of the solar wind.
Since orbit of an object is basically an energy storage opportunity, the device may not have to be as dry mass consirvative.
But much more to learn.
