The 187-meter “Wind Surf” was built in 1990 at the Atelier et Chantiers du Havre. A modern sail ship, she has a computer-controlled sail surface of 2500 square meters and a relatively shallow draft which allow her to call in ports that are inaccessible to larger cruise liners.
With a crew of 160 and 154 cabins for 300 passengers, life can't be so bad on board...Search labels: cruise ship

Sweet! The best of both words.
Wow! I didn't know they made sailing cruise ships. This would be worth checking out.
This is a beauty and I, Jack, was unaware of this kind of vessel.
It's almost like a sculpture! Wow!
Biggest sailboat I've every seen.
Wonderful! Thanks VP for sharing your photo of NY. The truck was much nicer when you photographed it. Now it a very dark gray truck.
If forced to, I would prefer this...
How interesting! A strange hybrid, but it makes sense to have the best of both.
But computer-controlled sail surface, that just sounds like an oxymoron.
Has a high-tech feel to it.
this one is huge and really beautiful!
Wonderful pictures!
