Book about Wind Star

Must read for anyone interested in the history of Wind Star, a book by Joseph Novitski called "Wind Star - The Building of a Sailship". Out of print (1987) but still available on Amazon ($0.77 used).

Fascinating fact: Wind Star was built at a cost of $34 millions (1986$) and used a HP 9000 computer for the sails.

Great story about the builders, the architects and technology.

Thanks for the info on the book. I found it on Amazon for a penny.

We sailed on the Wind Star last year on our honeymoon from Istanbul to Rome. Love the ship and the cruise line.

Thanks DanDee. Our first Windstar is next Spring and super excited.

Thanks, Dandee. I'll look for the book today. We are sailing on Wind Star Istanbul to Athens on May 20, 2015 and really looking forward to it--our first voyage on this line and also our first in that part of the world.

You're welcome:)

Still available for $1.46 at Amazon.com
