In late 1986, the first commercial sailing vessel built in 60 years slipped out of a French dry-dock in Le Havre. Although the towering sails echoed a bygone era of explorers, the msy Wind Star, with its sleek lines and computerized controls, was revolutionary in concept and design. Windstars ships are officially motored-sail- yachts (msy), but the designation belies the vessels unique rigging. Unfurling in two minutes at the push of a button, billowing white sails reach to the sky. All functions are operated from the bridge by computer microchips and navigational devices. The unusual open-bridge operation allows guests to drop by and acquaint themselves with the veteran captains and officers who demonstrate the ships intriguing capabilities to modern day explorers. A new era in luxury cruising was now being pioneered by Windstar Cruises.
