01 / RECORD
PUBLIC DESCRIPTION
This vessel record describes Alcyone's twin Turbosails, combined diesel propulsion, hull arrangement and worldwide expedition history. It shows what happened after the Moulin à Vent prototype phase: the technology became part of an operational exploration ship.
02 / CONTEXT
WHY THIS MATTERS
Where the 1985 paper documents development, this record documents application. It reports approximately one-third fuel savings from the combined propulsion system and places the technology within Alcyone's working life.
