    There is nothing about this project that I don't love! People around the world talk about how they want to make changes to be able to try save the planet but do nothing about it!!. You guy's and girl's are nothing but amazing individuals who have come together for the good of not only a small community but a whole nation, Now that is amazing and the world should be watching your channel and somehow be getting involved!!!.
    As a group of complete strangers getting together and doing the work YOU ARE SHOWING the rest of the world that anything can be achieved through patience and perseverance and nothing more than a will to succeed, for this alone I have the utmost respect and admiration for ALL OF YOU and wish you all the luck in the world!, personally I cannot wait to see you again make the sailing and distribution of goods around the world a safer and more sustainable way for everyone!.
    Now that said I know that you are all heavily involved in also teaching new trades etc to the community that you are in, whether it be teaching fishermen how to repair or build their own boats or how to learn blacksmithing skills but I have to ask once your flagship boat is done .
    1, what's the plan for building more ,will the boat be the first of many of this size and style?
    2, will you be planning on growing and becoming an environmental leader in the future of goods transportation around the world showing and proving that it can be achieved without damaging the sea's?.
    3, is the plan to stay within an area for the shipping of goods just from this island or will you be trying to reach further afield and say set up shop in other less wealthy countries thus showing that they can also help achieve a success story of there own?.
    I've always had a fondness for wooden boats of all sizes and styles and think proper sailing as it once was is the way forward, that said I've never ever sailed let alone own a boat etc, now that being said my wife has always said that she wishes that the transport on land should be by horse and carriage if need be, she would love to be living in a place where this is possible but modern society will never let her dream come true!.
    If there was one thing that I could hope for that would be simple I'd wish to see the build process more often by you putting regular video's out for people like me to watch say weekly or fortnightly that's all, but I know that you have your hands full already with everything you are doing to make sure the build continues successfully!!!.
    Congratulations to every single man, woman, child and animal that is involved one way or another in the whole project YOUR ALL AN INSPIRATION TO THE REST OF THE WORLD!!!😇👍👍👍🇬🇧🧭⛵

      @skyak4493 4 года назад

      A more concise statement would be, while carrying cargo by wooden sailboats was done successfully in the past, it was done with labor conditions that have long since been outlawed. Compatible ports and cargo are also a challenge. There are certainly underserved ports that want such a service, they almost all are less developed and want to trade with developed economies that have high regulatory barriers.

    I live in Hawaii. Here in the Pacific we have a cargo sailboat named Kwai that goes to all the little islands that are inbetween the tropic of cancer & capricorn mostly. These islands are populated with mostly indigenous poor natives, that basicly need the bare essentials, like rice, beans, spices, basic tropical clothing, (shorts, t-shirts, flip flops & lava lavas). They can even get away with living in uv durable tents. They need screens & mosquitoe nets. Basic diving gear & spear guns. Fishing gear & material to make nets. Solar panels, inverters, & marine batteries, for lighting at night. Rain encatchment system, with water tanks. Perhaps the U.N. or religious organizations could donate money to build more simple 80-120ft long cargo sailing ships. The only problem with the U.N. & church, they want them to convert to their religion, & the U.N. wants to send them to school to indoctrinate them so they can become obedient tax paying wage slaves. Most of these little islands of indigenous people are free from all this, maybe it's best to leave them aline, but the oceans no linger have enough food to supply enough food & they become malnourished & die. We need to find places that are plentiful with large trees & jungle & harvest thd trees for lumber & just learn to build our own sailing cargo boats, so supply these small islands around the world in need. There is a video of a man who built a sailboat 90% out of bamboo. Bamboo can be grown in many different sizes & is the fastest growing tree/grass, & can be used to build anykind of shelter, boats & furniture. Hemp is also a fast growing crop for rope & clothing, & is far better than cotton, & much more durable.

    That being said, ocean shipping is already the lowest carbon/ton*km so it will be a tough market... even in the carbon-offset market.
    Are there plans for alternative auxiliary propulsion?
    A simple diesel would provide safety but would (obviously) be against the carbon reduction mission...
    A lithium battery is (obviously) way out of budget and way too immature of tech for this scale of project...
    Fuel cell? Possibly running on process gas generated from the coffee farms, again very immature tech...
    Diesel hybrid with renewable options for generation...

    When I was a child in Newfoundland I remember large fishing boats being built like this growing up. I ques that's why I've always had an interest in wooden boat building.
    BTW With that kind of operation, there is no reason why you cannot build a fleet of boats to sail the seas and move cargo. I hope you decide to do that in the future.
    Only in Canada, will you see large industrial logging companies destroy the land that they reap their crops from, just like the fishing industry down east in Canada. Where they blamed the inshore fish men of the cod fishing crisis, which was a lack of cod back in the late 60's and 70's early 80's . Meanwhile, it was the large fishing trawlers that would damage the fishing grounds, with their drag nets. This process would completely scrape the bottom of the sea bed and destroy the fishing grounds, where cod and other sea life could no longer re-produce. Yet, the government blamed the inshore fisher men. Then forced the resettle program on the communities and then later implemented the fishing moratorium that forced thousands and thousands of Newfoundlander's to leave their love of fishing then have no choice but to move away from their communities forever. Generations of people lives were destroyed, all because of greed for the rich men, these rich men paid off corrupt politicians, the same thing is happening with the logging processes in BC. This sort of crap just turns my stomach and rightly so. So about the rant but I do love your mind set of going back to a better ways. Where your able to help the poor and the communities in your country get a chance to prosper and get out of poverty that has plague them for decades that is awesome vision.

      @@highwatercircutrider Yeah, thats the formulae mostly quoted, but wrong.
      "Boatbuilding timber" is waaaay different than "trees" or "wood" and IT is NOT renewable. Sure, it will grow if given 40 or 50 years, but that never happens. Look at the trouble they had getting quality timber for this one, lonely project. It’s the same problem all over the world. Plywood would have been a far eco-friendlier solution, but you saw on this very video what timber harvesting for plywood is doing to the environment.
      Steel and Aluminium ARE renewable. Go and visit any scrap metal merchant. Between 60% to 90% of steel and other ores are recycled, and there is NO shortage of raw materials for the next 100,000 years. Even the power used to refine them can be eco-friendly, as recent projects using "green" Hydrogen demonstrate.
      The bottom line is that project this is not "blazing beacon" of the new, ecofriendly methods of transport. It’s a nostalgic attempt at reviving a long gone "old world" technology, that can never supply any meaningful solutions.
      Just wait until the first legal case over a crewmember swept to his death in high seas while handling primitive rigging. That is what stopped the old clipper ships more than cargo price. Then, wait until they get the insurance quotes, and realise that they can never make enough money to cover the income from non-containerised, awkward, labour intensive cargo.

      There is always a niche in any industry. The lumberjacks shown in this video as example. This vessel cannot compete directly.

I used to know a 110' steel schooner with a nice sized cargo hold which would ship, say surfboard blanks to Tahiti, Koa wood to the U.S., and S. American Rosewood to Europe, Black Forest Cuckcoo clocks to the U.S. They weren't going to set the market on fire but they did okay and had fun doing it.

    I'd be very happy to admit this ship is low carbon, but definitely not 0, not emission free. You drive around in trucks, use chainsaws, use metals mined in other countries. Burn lots of wood. The hardwood you use regenerates very slowly in nature.
    I think the future is to use better and newer technologies that last longer, if energy is abundant, cheap and clean we can undo a lot of burning with it.
    No need to claim perfection, you guys do good and that is good enough.

    Your ship is green and thats all well and good. But to switch the worlds shipping fleet in the numbers required to do the job with ships like this would cause massive deforestation. This happened in the age of sail and the number of these ships that would be required now would be staggering. There wouldn't be a decent tree left within 300 miles of the coast anywhere in the world.

    Is there not a better way? Sure sailing is good but it’s to slow and wind is unreliable. Companies aren’t going to switch to much slower ships just for the environment. It takes way to long to build a wooden ship compared to an steel one. Is there not some middle ground like solar or a wind propulsion system that uses turbines to spin a prop? I’m no expert on the subject but it seems to me like it takes way to long and is not even slightly economical to switch to wooden ships. Wooden ships are in almost every way inferior to a steel one with the exception of corrosion. I just feel like there is a better solution to the problem of the emissions created by shipping.

    • @born2sail

      There are more modern ways of using the wind to help to reduce the fuel consumption of cargo vessels. The most realistic are Flettner-rotor systems. Wood is a great material for building ships because it likes to be in salt water.
      I think the point of shipping cargo with a sailing vessel is to point out that transportation is not free. If something is "made in china" it was carried by a container ship. Not many people think about that.

    Sailing, but also steam engines. Figure that with modern technologies, we could fuel a steam engine (the actual, mechanical part of a steam assembly) with just electricity, producing steam. Nobody is looking into this, despite steam being used in a lot of ships, even today.

    How is building a cargo ship out of timber sustainable. During the Golden age 1500,1600,1700 1800s vast forest around the world were decimated to build cargo vessels and ships of war... Ships in the 1500,1600,1700 normally would carry around 500 tonnes up to 2000 tons of cargo.
    To build a sailing ship capable of carrying what today's ships carry is not ecologically sustainable. .

      One thing that was not considered hundreds of years ago (this actually persists into today!) is the longterm effects of deforestation, and soil degradation and loss. Through our non-profit shipyard association, AstilleroVerde (www.astilleroverde.org) we have a growing treeplanting program. In fact, next Thursday (June 11th, 2020) we will launch our first crowdfunding campaign for this treeplanting program! We're a 501(c)3, which means that your donations will be tax-deductible. If you care about reforestation and preservation of old-growth forests, please donate next week! You can email me at info@astilleroverde.org + info@sailcargo.org to learn more.

      @@sailcargo . Sure planting a few trees after the old growth you have just harvested makes you feel good and sounds sustainable to you. It's not.The 50+ year old tree you have cut down to build a wooden boat is counter procurative. And really goes against everything you are trying to accomplish.. it would have been easier to build a steel or aluminum vessel. Instead of a cargo vessel. It should be a research vessel..
      What is the tonnage loaded and empty.. I expect less than 10 tonnes loaded. 15 tonnes if that max.

  • @court2379

    I hate to be a downer because the cause is good, but this is not a solution for the growing shipping industry. Building wooden boats at the scale needed for modern industry would deforest huge areas of all the larger trees. If you could even get them to do the logging in a sustainable manner.
    The capacity of a ship like this is a tiny fraction of modern cargo ships, and it must be loaded manually making it uneconomical to operate. It must accept sea containers by crane to be comparable.
    The safety of such a boat is less than a modern double hull ship with compartments.
    The speed of this ship will be less, and dependent on the wind. You could easily get stuck for weeks on some routes.
    To truly make a change, perhaps something more inline with modern methods would be better. It may not get all the way to your goals, but at least you might be able to make it attractive enough that some in industry might do it. Something like an electric cargo ship of steel, with a huge panel array on a hinged door covered the deck, or otherwise that retract out of the way for loading by crane. Yes a lot of energy went into the steel and panel manufacturing, but just one time.
    I don't see how using ship design from 100 years ago is going to accomplish much on a global scale. It is not going to convince many people to change. What you are doing isn't very new, we did it 100 years ago and abandon it. Now we have more information about the impact and cost of the way we do things and can improve, but this is trying to stop a train by putting a coin on the track.
    On a personal level though I am sure it is good to not be contributing to the problems in what ever way you can, and this will have a niche that it can. It is an interesting project and regardless of the goals will be an amazing ship and bring a sense of fulfillment to a lot of people.
