    Storyline

    • Trivia
      At its 1995 convention, the Space Frontier Foundation recognized this episode for exemplifying "the most imaginative use of a vehicle to travel in space," and awarded the episode the "Best Vision of the Future" award. The award was presented by Robert Staehle, the world's foremost expert on solar sails.
    • Goofs
      Normal sailing requires the ability to "tack," or move against the oncoming pressure of the wind, or in this case the solar wind. But "tacking" requires another force or friction, such as that of the sailboat hull and keel in the water. Such forces are not available in space, so "tacking" in space would be impossible.
    • Quotes

      [Sisko and Jake have managed to 'sail' all the way to Cardassia, where they are greeted by Dukat]

      Gul Dukat: I've been asked to convey a message from the Cardassian government: "Your voyage is a testament to the spirit of the ancient Bajorans who first ventured out into space. It could not be more appropriate that your arrival coincides with the discovery here on Cardassia of an ancient crash site, a site that our archeologists believe contains the remnants of one of the Bajoran vessels whose journey... you have just recreated."

    Lightweight and Dull!
    While it's nice to have a father bonding with his son, the episode was like watching Ozzie and Harriet. There were no villains. Even the conflicts as the spacecraft sailed on were uninteresting. After such a couple of outstanding episodes, this one just sat there. Bashir's meeting with his former classmate was even duller than the main plot. Hopefully, we will get to something of some substance. Oh, we have to remember that Sisko will be meeting some woman who is a freighter captain.
