Hi,

thought maybe some of you would like it: a link to a company that's actually using old sailing-vessels for cargo hauling and are also working on dyna-rigg sailing-ships for green transport:

http://fairtransport.eu/

Also working on dnya-riggers: http://www.b9energy.co.uk/B9Shipping/tabid/4036/language/en-US/Default.aspx

More of this:

Have fun :)

Nothing against such Ideas, but its a daydream ... you can not transport cargo for 8 billion people with that ;) ... its the same with a lot stuff from the same direction works in small scale but not in a bigger scale.

If you talk about the fair-transport guys who sail in old vessels, well yeah, it's quite romantic, for sure.

But when it comes to the dyna-riggers, I think this has a lot potential on the main sipping-lanes when used in hybrid-context. The basic idea of the rigg is from the 70's and there is surely a reason why only one commercial ship of that type (the falcon) was built so far. Maybe it an issue about oil-prices ... time will tell.

And after all, aren’t we all play NA becaus we like romantic daydreams? :-D
