01 / RECORD
PUBLIC DESCRIPTION
Presented by Bureau Mauric naval architect Jean-Charles Nahon and Alcyone's first captain Bernard Deguy, this later retrospective follows the Turbosail from experimental origins to Alcyone.
02 / CONTEXT
WHY THIS MATTERS
The presentation explicitly identifies Moulin à Vent as the prototype turbo-sail boat and records its conversion, testing near Marseille and role in the program before Alcyone. Unlike the contemporary paper, it looks backward with decades of operational perspective.
