+German sail cargo project based in Elsfleth near Bremen. Started and run by Cornelius Boeckerman, Ben Decosse started volunteering and has been involved ever since. Several other long term volunteers.
+Original plan was to sail to Australia and trade between Indonesia, PNG, Australia, New Zealand and other PAcific islands. This was still planned in Feb 2016, later that year they did their first trip to the Caribbean and back. 2017 Canada. 2018 off to Caribbean again.

+Steel hull, gaff ketch rig,
+The 100 foot version has space for 2 20 foot containers or a 40 foot, utilising the container standardisation. On board crane only does 1 tonne, so it will not be able to unload the containers itself. Bilge keels for tidal work, with dagger boards.

+Laminated frames for strangth, wooden hull for ease of repair, schooner, based on New England fishing boats for speed. Designed for the Pacific coast of middle and south America.

+The SCA, the Sail Cargo Alliance, is a loose network of sail cargo practitioners. All projects have taken part in some meetings, but there is a very loose structure.
+One of the issues that the SCA and all sail cargo groups are dealing with are the standards that they speak about, what emmisions they actually have and allow, how they claim that and document it.
