The boat you have in the picture is the Wind Star Parcel, which is characterized by having the sails extended. Your job will be to travel around the Caribbean.

This tendency towards grass is not a setback, it is totally different. The most developed technologies and ancient candles come together to advance energy.

This boat, 155 m long, rarely the old sailboats had a length of 100 m. All the extension maneuvers of the six sails that it has in four masts of 50 m of length are automatic. A computer program makes the decision to expand ^or collect 2000 m2 of drachon sail, taking into account the direction and speed instructions given by the ship's captain. It takes ten minutes to have all the candles together. The computer also controls the stabilizers and hurts it against the balance.

The presence of candles does not exclude engines. The Wind Star contains three 1400 hp diesel. They supply the electricity needed for the vessel, keep the seawater desalination system in operation and replace the sails if necessary.
