- Why is Costa Rica's forest system so strong? We took on the task of investigating and looking for one of the reasons why Costa Rica stands out in terms of conservation. Also, our Technical Director, Lynx Guimond and his team tells us about the progress of Ceiba's construction during this first semester. On the other side, the AstilleroVerde team explains the reforestation strategy used for this year and more!

We are in the construction phase of building a 150', wooden, three-masted square topsail schooner here in Costa Rica to sail sustainably sourced and ethically produced CARGO along the Pacific Coast of the Americas using sail and a 100% Electric Engine.
This project is supported by people who believe in clean shipping. Email: invest@sailcargo.inc to request our investment packet
Over fifty years ago as a young teenage boy I dreamed of the day sailing ships would once again rise to take their place amongst the worlds merchant fleet. Discussing the Idea with older friends in the sailing community I would often be laughed at and probably rightly so, at the time, there would have been a very limited niche for such ventures to compete economically against oil powered vessels . Whilst everyone knew the oil would run out one day, most thought it would be at least two to three hundred years into the future. How times have changed, containerization, fuel prices, rise of the Easts industrial output and the decline of the western industrial machine, climate change and politics, alongside a massive growth in international trade and populations. Resources due to mismanagement and greed sadly have much declined. So I find it heart warming to see efforts like sailcargo working to make a difference. Only time will tell if their ideas will work, but I wish them all the luck in the world.
Nice to hear plans about a sister ship
this entire project shall be replicated exponentially, worldwide.. this is the only way to make again this planet sustainable.. keep on fighting bros.. your are doing wonders.. from dreamers to game changers.. much respect and fair winds always
You guys are awesome
Great works. Sustainable cleaner future.
Wil have to re-watch after the subtitles get generated. My Spanish is limited.
To people complaining about sailing time over container vessels, there's a year backup waiting off of LA in California, so Ceiba would win is style.
English captions are there.
Very intresting thing to those maritime stakholders .
That's the way it needs to be done, I guess. Hopefully I find a way to contribute with my time and capabilities this year. At least I am i the wider area already :-) Much success to you!
I do love what they are doing. Have to make a trip down there.
Excellent video, the attention this project brings to the impact consumers have on our environment is crucial. We all have daily choices in what we consume and where it comes from. Support your local producers and be willing to support sustainable shipping of goods not available locally. Purchasing coffee from Costa Rica directly from local farmer co-ops shipped sustainability is well worth the cost. You get what you're willing to pay for.
I applaud your good works.
Love you
If the world would agree to slow down just a little bit, I think we would be astounded at the enhancement of the our quality of life.

Pura vida ese barco 😉
A very interesting and informative video, as an ex seafarer I support the work entirely, but whilst having spent most of my working life in steam and motor vessels I have done a small amount of time in sailing vessels (sail was not considered viable in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's). I do find from memories that some things may end up becoming different to the modern ideas - look back occasionally please - Nature does not change and things where done that way many times because it was and still is the only way to do it!
Another thing I find is that having traded to and from Costa Rica in the 70's the idea of needing to renew the forrests of Costa Rica is hadr to believe but it does show how bad things have become!
I wonder if the logistics of docking on decks that are already set up with cranes and ramps design to receive the current cargo ships, will be able to accommodate and unload CEIBA and its cargo.
They may be able to use smaller SI palletised loaded container units....effectively sub divisions of the larger containers. The Smallest is about the size of a wheel barrow bucket but a regular shape for stacking and handling
In warehouses.
👍what species will be used for planking
if we change transportation to wood ship , how many trees we will need?
Is there a site in English or with subtitles???
You can enable RUclips subtitles
Costarica, Brazil and other coastal forest rich communities should develope their own local and internationally recognised areas of boat and ship building and restoration excellence on a par with areas like Maine, San Francisco Brittany in France and Plymouth and the Solent in the UK...but in a greener way..
An early system was developed in the UK called the Bradford Hutt system .. clear felling areas is a disaster you know this.. teaching children to be foresters and how to grow food and harvest trees from the same land is vital to their future and everyone's benifit.
Using and integrating the protection of the Forest by selective mixed age, mixed species harvesting of individual trees within forested areas so that the forrest floor is constantly protected and regenerating supports more wildlife and constantly provides a range of foods, materials and the different types of timber required for the communities servicing the different trades and wider communities ..
Sustainable Forestry for sustainable communities centering on boat building and high quality repairs.👍🏼 💙⛵💙🧙♂️
Teach the children how to make small boats ..that they can lean the skills of building and sailing
at an early age.
Encourage local young people to become involved and reach out to the old shipbuilders see if you can exchange experience and skills and ideas from these maritime global cultural heritage sites. They are by their very nature enthusiasts .... linked by their passion for boats and the wood.
Ahoy There Clive San, and Warmest Heart-felt Aloha Nui from The Friendly~Family isle of Moloka'i,
Truly, Truly Indeed- with "green"/"Blue-Canoe Global Communities I/We would like to add to the future proposed Friendships/Partnerships, and Universal Global Colaborations, the World-Wide resource of Over-Abundant "Basalt" for Breakthru almost complete "0"-Emission Aloha Service Ships (Modern Clipper Ships- both mono & multi hull Non-emission Carriers)... Hawai'i has some of the most Coastal "basalt" ready to be Harvested- Simple/More-Efficiently "Cost-Effective"; Not to even mention that Composite Sail/Wings/Foil/Fly/Glide Ships of the future will be very nearly Complete Fire-Proof. Just Imagine if All the 1850's Extreme Clippers would have been built with Wood/Basalt Composite; most probably the Generations upon Generation "THE Next Step" McKay "Great Republic" would be still Doing "Service" with equal-valued Non-Carbon Emissions- Theoritically @ 20 to 30 knot Reliable Tonnage VMG Fail-Safe Delivery Pace. Are You Game to Huddle and Compare Notes for future Results & Solutions?! aloha jj i s~c DFH.
Fantástico
Can this be converted in to English as I am following your story.
Hi Michael, you can enable youtube subtitles in english. Hope you can find them.
😎👍🍻
So progressive.
The problem is you need a 1000 boats being built to support & ship goods for enough people.
Aloha tadrjds, Aye- You are Absolutely correct, and this Timely Re-education for The Need and Purpose for Speed harnessing The "Pulse" of The Wind & The Waves- will expodentially Grow from many, many more Sailing Boats to Foiling/Flying/Gliding Trans-Oceanic Fleets and Flotillas of "0-Emissions" Global~Service Ships, Thankx for Your Contribution! Let's Huddle, and Create more Postive Directives for Total "Fail-Safe~ness". Mahalo & Arigato jj i s`C
30 minute video, 15 minutes about the boat.
ایک دوسرے کا ساتھ دینے میں تھوڑی سی مت کر لیا کرو کوئی بھروسا نہیں ہے زندگی کا کب ختم ہوجائے بہن بھائیوں گزرا ہوا وقت کبھی یاد نہیں آتا
I just order something from Sweden, how long do you think it will take to get here by wind????? Good luck saving the planet
What do you think bananas would look like once thy get to the USA after thy spent a week in the doldrums? I learned that spitting into the wind just gets me a face full of spit.
love what you are for and think that sustainability needs to be part of everything we do. The sad truth is the industrialized world has far outpaced these types of ships. Giant freighters carrying massive amounts of goods is what the technology beast has fed upon and its apatite is far more than ships like these could sustain. For every pound a sustainable ship can carry, there are millions shipped with fossil fuel. I don't think these forests could support the mass number of ships it would require to make even a dent in the shipping load of the world.
Aye, Morris San, i/We do concur, Yet All Intiatives, and Wind-Driven with "Pulse~Auxillary-"Emerging-Nations" (3rd-World Countries & Non-Emissions Communities) will add-up to many, many more Trees, and "Plant-Based" Bonding Breakthrus, Having Faith and Concert-Directiveswith Our Whole of The Sum Collective, and Connective Fullfilling Works in Collaboration will Truly make the Difference, and plat those needed Seeds, and Means with Ways To Make "Our Blue Canoe Healthy anf Robustly Over-Abundant- Truly Universial Sustanable Again 100x Seven-fold,!

ideally we would not ship everything from china
