Comments

2. ☕️ Rayan: sails won't change much until someone innovates on cargo hold logistics
3. Liam: I've been hearing a lot more about sustainable shipping lately and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that sails are making a comeback on cargo ships. What kind of
4. Ranamaya: Not sure what's more surprising, the sail itself or that it took so long for shipping to get creative again
5. Echo Echo: it's cute they're trying to go green, but those wind catchers need a serious R&D push before I'll believe this is more than just window dressing
6. Dane: can someone explain to me how a sail actually generates power for a cargo ship in this day and age?
7. Zoerossixo: sustainability through fashion is all well and good, but can they make these sails that actually withstand rough seas?
8. Luna: sounds like a PR stunt to me, what's the carbon emissions reduction they're expecting?
9. Miakaur: something about refitting old ships always leaves me feeling hopeful
