Another piece of a beautiful, sustainable mosaic being built in many places by many people. It is growing and will succeed! Looking forward to buying some of teh coffee you will be shipping! 🙂
It's a great concept although I see some problems with your claims...Sailcargo isn't a growing shipping concern you have one vessel that I don't see in service hauling freight and a second that is still under construction. I look forward to these vessels actually working and in service...Wooden ships have been around a very long time dependably yes only they require a lot of maintenance and an experienced crew that knows what they are doing. I wish you great success in this endeavor...
I have been following this project from episode 1 and simply can not Waite to see her throw off her lines and set sails to parts unknown hope you send a film crew to document her whole journey over and back so we can enjoy the trip with you
Lot of (non) believers around in the comment section here. I prefer the knowledge of the people involved in this project. Knowledge in advance of the new era is gold. Of course you are right in your planning. Love the way your timber is chosen, that’s what I call sustainable! And the tree planting projects are just as back in the days of the big cargo ships. Just ignore the noisey petrol heads, you will show the difference in a while. Keep the topside up 💪🏽
Would like to see this form of shipping brought back for sustainability reasons, looks really good, I hope there will be more investment money coming in so you can expand the building of, outfitting, and putting into operation more ships to operate in the movement of cargo by sail and electric motors. I'm very happy to see this, wishing you continued success ! Looks beautiful, and the construction is top shelf.
Please make a video per week, with the work. It doesnt have to be long, just five minutes, or so....The more viewers, the more patrons, and most probably you will get more viewers......
Building sails for containerships would be orders of magnitude better for the environment than this ship. Can't carry containers, can't carry more than 6-7 containers worth of weight. It's a fun project to demonstrate how Schooners used to be built, but about as useful as building the HMS Victory to serve as a modern warship...
Jesus, reading some strange comments here. I guess if you don't attract naysayers you're not really pushing boundaries. And you lot are certainly doing that on every level.
Please go down to a large port, and watch for a few hours. We have to change our ways, for sure. But there is not enough suitable timber on the planet to build the required shipping, to keep us all alive! Steel will still be the ship builders material of choice, for strength and durability. Large Steel Square Riggers, with automated sail handling, that can take containers can be built. Just have to dig a lot of tunnels near ports, as all the bridges would have to change, or go away. Carbon footprint of that??? Don't get me wrong, I have been on the water from two years old, sixty six now, owned two sailboats. Loved every minute of it cruising and racing. But at some point reality slaps me in the face. My life in an engineering department, makes me look at things with a critical eye. This change in mode of shipping, comes with a huge carbon footprint. Better to change fuel source, green methanol, for small medium, nuclear, for these obscenely large container ships, that are on the water these days? The Sailcargo, is a good fit for small niche supplies, steel has been, and will remain the primary ship building. Best wishes from the far North.
@@carlthor91 Even a steel-hull traditional sailing ship would be a better idea, then this one. I don't see anything wrong with building a wooden ship for fun, but labeling it as "new eco-friendly way of maritime cargo shipping" is a BS (or fraud, if they use this idea to lure money into their project). And I don't believe people, who went so far can be stupid enough to actually truly believe in what they advertising.
@@SQSNSQ Oh man, people can convince themselves, or lie to themselves, to the point that anything is possible. That is why I am not in ANY social media, my news feeds, are world wide, not NA alone. Labeling a wooden ship eco-friendly works, as there a good number of +100 year old boats still going. Problem is as I pointed out: 1) There is not enough suitable wood on the planet, to build said ships. 2) Even with automation, there are no where near the mariners required to crew said ships. The same number of drew to operate a medium sized sailing ship ~3-5 thousand tons, is the same as for a 24,000 teu container ship. 3) Steel works, we need a green produced fuel, or nuclear propulsion. 4) Trying to do large container ships with sails, cuts back on capacity, to a point of non-feasability, as we would have to rebuild ALL ports/approaches. Carbon footprint of that alone is staggering. Best wishes from the far North.

Here's a quote I'd heard from a Special Forces Marine / " People don't plan to fail -- they fail to plan " , and if you think it through ? The marketeers are as necessary as the Sails on Ceiba will be to secure contracts to ship cargo , and funding to continue building the ship ! and if the marketeers as you call them do their jobs very well / then Ceiba will be a giant success ! 🙏😸😺

@Sail Cargo : clearly you folks still have a Lot ! of work to do before you can launch . Do you have a wish year as to when it will happen ? And the 64 million dollar question is : How ???? will you launch ??? / it's never been talked about in any of the videos ( I've watched them all ) the best idea I can come up with is you're going to dig a big deep trench in front of the ship and push / slide her into it , and then flood the trench ?? / Please tell 🙏❤😸😺
My exact question on the last video! They have obviously run into funding problems with this pie in the sky build, and I figure they are thinking some exposure of this new ship can generate interest and a funding round, to finish the job. On your topic (launching); a lot of cribbing will have to be constructed to get the vessel pulled to the water, and then a major dredging operation to gain the depth and channel to open water. At the rate their going, I'd look beyond 2030 for a launch date. How do you sell THAT to investors???
Sure! A fleet is our long term goal, and not just wood! A wooden ship is where we were able to start with zero capital. Now we have enough momentum to start buying other ships and eventually build up to all different kinds of vessels!

This would be a really good idea if there was only 99% less people on the America’s. Unfortunately shipping .000009% less cargo won’t cut it. Wake up and join reality
@@beachdad56 Isn't it obvious, that a 200 year-old technology, that has been proven ineffective against a primitive steel steam ships more that a hundred years ago wouldn't be a proper place to start? How many trees they would have to cut and how many bio-waste (that generates CO2, while rotting) generate at doing that, to build a fleet of wooden sail ships, that could carry at least 10% of current cargo turnaround? How much trees they would have to cut annually to sustain that fleet (wooden ships require much more maintenance, then the steel ones)? And so on and so forth... All this project - is just a bunch of people having fun, doing their hobby, living in a tropical country, mostly chilling out on the expense of gullible eco-fans.
@@beachdad56 horse crap. Albert Einstein said, we all know light travels faster than sound, That’s why certain people appear bright until you hear them speak. Wake up there is 7 billion people in the world today. How many can you feed hauling cargo on a wind ship? .000000000000000evry few

The electricity could work well if generated sustainably. I am interested to know if that is what they did. Modern tooling is simply a result of pragmatism. Note that transporting items would happen without any CO2 elsewhere. This is a way to bring down carbon emissions. It won't be enough on its own, but every bit helps.
We want more construction videos of the boat , not interested in the marketing strategies at this point. Please focus….on the construction side of it. That’s what keeps viewer hook. Ciao🥱

Looking good 😊

Made with electricity and modern tools to transport items to create Co2 isn't "clean shipping" or "revolutionary"
The electricity could work well if generated sustainably. I am interested to know if that is what they did. Modern tooling is simply a result of pragmatism. Note that transporting items would happen without any CO2 elsewhere. This is a way to bring down carbon emissions. It won't be enough on its own, but every bit helps.
There's nothing sustainable about this since you are using an entire forest to build a ship.
I HOPE YOU ALL CAN BE AS STRONG AS THE MEN WAS IN THE OLD OLD OLD DAYS... GOOD LUCK.... WIND POWER ONLY WOW
Maybe stronger as people are better fed these days 🤗
I'm guessing you missed the bit about the 2 electric motors that will be going in the stern ? / for maneuvering in port-s- etc .
