60 mins | Documentary | Jan. 14, 1986

World-famous underwater adventurer Jacques Cousteau is on a journey on the surface of the sea. Along with Lucien Malavard and Bertrand Charrier, Cousteau invented a new kind of sailing vessel using a state-of-the-art, high-tech turbo sail. The tall, computer-controlled cylinder of metal sails the ship much like a conventional canvas sail, but is up to six times more efficient.
