FAQ's
Why a sailing academy? Because of controversy on reasons for global warming. This subject needs more coordinated research on environmental issues and allow for congregation of young people.
Why new vessels and not a charter? Initially we will charter a existing vessel(s) but we can not expect to be designed to suite our purpose. This is why we need custom design: quarters for 36 trainees, lecture theatre, classrooms, laboratories, exhibition hall ect.
Why seven vessels? This is going to be floating university. Seven vessels will give a large capacity and they will better cover the research areas.
Why square rigged 60m LOA riggers rather than 10-20m sloops? This will have better capacity, better scientific research facilities, better seaworthiness, tougher sailing training.
Who will own the vessels? Vessels will be owned by the Trust.
What are the sponsor’s duties and privileges? Sponsors will not have any responsibilities but will have some privileges. Separate contracts will be negotiated with each sponsor, taking into consideration their requirements, wishes and expectations.
