The Age of Sail Returns, Sort Of


For John, BLUF:  Being considered for cruise ships also.  Nothing to see here; just move along.


The publication The Maritime Executive has a short article on a new, energy saving ship design, "Massive Hull Acts as Sail in New Cargo Ship Design".

Pictures at the link.

    We have seen some large auto carriers whilst at sea
