Wind power activities currently underway in the United States are discussed, in particular, the American conference on sail-equipped working vessel technology at Norfolk, Virginia. Lloyd Bergeson, founder of Wind Sail, and keynote speaker, discussed factory-built sail rigs which would be retrofitted aboard cargo ships and would function as a form of auxiliary propulsion for fuel conservation. An expedition from Sea World intends to build a 67 meter sailing research vessel and conduct a 3-1/2 year oceanographic research cruise. (MJF)
