SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLAINDEALER - PAGE 22 -FRIDAY, OCTOBER «, li78 The voyages of Columbus charted by Windjammer By SAMDR \ II ART Christopher Columbus made four voyages to the New World from 1492 to 1502, claiming and naming is­ lands discovered along the way He sall ied forth with seasoned sailors and three small ships looking for a new route to China He found the Bahamas and Caribbean. Windjammer "Barefoot Cruises of Miami Beach. Honda, has discovered these waters, but more intention­ ally. They invite modern day sailors to sai l in the wake of Columbus on five super- sized schooners that ply the same waters explored by him and his sai lors. Windjammer deliberately concentrates on the l i t t le- known- is lands where beaches lay deserted, snor- keling reefs are unspoiled, and the "natives" really are fr iendly. The ships in the Windjam­ mer fleet make five separate cruises: one in the Bahamas: A REMARKABLE CAR, A REMARKABLE STORY... Europa Motors takes special pride in bringing, to McHenry area residents one of the world's most unique automobiles. Saab has been exporting cars to the United States for twenty-one years, and since the beginning they have maintained the design philosophy and qualities which have set their car apart. Anyone who drives a Soab will recognize at once that he is a completely active participant in a unique driving experience. The Saab is designed for driver control, its owner commanding total response as well as excep­ tional performance from his car. A number of features contribute to the Saab's respon­ siveness. Saab was designed originally with front wheel drive, increasing the car's traction and safety on wet. sandy or snowy roads. With the engine directly over the front drive wheels, the car has a 60/40 weight ratio, giving the driver excellent control whether ac­ celerating, negotiating a curve, or driving through heavy crosswinds. Soab's understeer design allows the driver to maintain a stable course throughout a curve without rear-wheel breakaway or fear of spinning out. Here in McHenry County where our beautiful coun­ tryside is entwined with curves and corners, Saab will perform like no other automobile in its class, foreign or domestic. Saab was designed for steel belted radials placing more tread on the road for a firmer grip and improved response on turns, naturally giving improved driver control. Soab has never been noted as one of the most glamorous cars on the road, yet its excellent perfor­ mance is noted on today s road racing circuits. Many of the features that enhance this safety ond performance are not easily seen by the eye. Once you know the concept and have driven the car at your leisure you do not have to be an engineer or rally enthusiast, only a consumer seeking the best for your money, to ap­ preciate and understand the Saab of today or the highly ingenious car of yesterday.
