Club Med 2 is a five-masted computer-controlled sailing ship owned and operated by Club Med and operated as a cruise ship. It combines the power of seven computer-operated sails with more traditional diesel-electric power, having four diesel generators that power two electric motors. The Club Med 2 was launched in 1992 in Le Havre, France. Her sister ship the Club Med 1 was sold to Windstar Cruises and renamed Wind Surf in 1998. The home port is Mata-Utu on Uvea, an island in the Pacific Ocean belonging to the French overseas collectivity of Wallis and Futuna.   read more…
