In this report, the panel set out to determine whether it is feasible and sensible to build an oceanographic research sailing ship that will: (1) perform all the needed scientific functions of a standard research ship; (2) save at least three quarters of the fuel that would be used by an entirely engine-powered ship; (3) perform essentially the same tasks as present ships without greatly extending the time at sea of the scientists and crew. The panel found that it is feasible to build a motor-assisted sailing ship for ocean research that will perform as well or better than many of the present ships while cutting fuel consumption by 50 to 80 percent, depending on the task, the part of the ocean traveled, and the operating strategy.
