EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to August 1897 with this print of "The Cyclone Sail." This historical image captures a small boat equipped with an experimental sail designed to revolutionize sailing. The sail, shaped like an umbrella and measuring an impressive 30 feet wide, was intended to propel the boat without causing any heeling action.
Described as a kite held by a rigid string, the Cyclone Sail was truly ahead of its time in terms of design and innovation. It's fascinating to see how inventors were pushing the boundaries even over a century ago in their quest for more efficient ways to navigate the waters.
The Solent provided the perfect backdrop for testing out this groundbreaking technology, and it's clear that this photograph captures a momentous occasion in maritime history. The import of this experimental sail cannot be overstated, as it represents a significant leap forward in sailing technology.
As you gaze upon this remarkable image, imagine being onboard that small boat witnessing firsthand the power and potential of the Cyclone Sail.
