A revolution: a pure 360-foot long sailing ship
LAUNCH DATE: SCHEDULED FOR 2027
Powered by wind
Grain de Sail III will be a cargo sailboat entirely powered by wind (except for port and channel maneuvers), with a maximum air draft 62,50 m with 4000 m2 of sails (43 055 ft2) with retractable daggerboards. A ship that crosses the Atlantic in just around 13 days !
+90% CO2 reduction
Reduction of carbon footprint by over 90%, with emissions between 1 and 2 grams of CO₂ per ton of cargo transported per kilometer traveled, which is 10 to 20 times less than the current fleet.
Innovative technologies
Developpment of large rigid sails on 3 masts capable of reducing sail area when necessary (reefing). SOLID SAIL rigging optimized for a pure cargo sailing ship of this size.
a passive ship
The design of Grain de Sail III is carefully thought out to develop an almost passive cargo sailing ship, ensuring onboard energy production (high insulation + powerful hydrogeneration technologies + wood pellet boiler).
