Fossielvrij de wereld rond

fossil-free around the world

Sustainable Yacht 'YA' sails around the world fossil-free thanks to 2 Autoprops and the Parasailor.

Skipper Peter Hoefnagels is now on his second fossil-free sailing trip around the world. He never refuels, has not a single liter of diesel on board, and does everything with free sustainable energy. His Autoprops are of priceless value, because as soon as the yacht is sailing well, they generate plenty of power to keep the batteries always charged. On broad reaches, speed is kept stable and easy thanks to our Parasailor.

Read more here about this sustainable and inspiring project, here about the technology of power generation while underway, here an explanation about propellers for sailing yachts in general, and here a beautiful tribute to the Parasailor.

We wish Peter countless more sustainable miles!
