Lynx Guimond

In this conversation Lynx Guimond, founder of Sailcargo shares
about his life and the contribution towards a regenerative his
organization makes.





The vision at Sailcargo is to prove the value of clean shipping.
Through combining innovative, clean technologies with low-impact,
regenerative systems, they aim to construct and operate a
world-leading fleet of emission-free cargo ships.





Their flagship and pioneering vessel, Ceiba, is a 46-meter
schooner currently being constructed at Astilleroverde, their
green shipyard located on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. When
she hits the water, she will be the largest emission-free, wooden
cargo ship in the world. On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean,
we have Ceiba’s sister, Vega, which was originally built in 1909
before full restoration and refit in recent years. She is on the
verge of beginning her new life as a sailing cargo vessel and
becoming their first active ship.





Sailcargo is the top holding company responsible for the
financial management, operational oversight, and market outreach
of both of these ships. They are proud to offer their partners
total commitment to a triple bottom line;





1. > Financial Security: We are proud to offer an annual
return on investment of 6% after 5-10 years of active clean
shipping.





2. > Environmental Protection: We are unconditionally
committed to cleaning up the maritime industry. Our actions go
beyond emission-free propulsion; Sailcargo´s business model is
built around a regenerative, closed-loop cycle that integrates
environmentally-conscious services with effective reforestation.





3. > Social Responsibility: Our shipyard, Astilleroverde, has
become a trailblazer in how to operate a sustainable company. It
houses shipwrights and professionals from both the local
community and around the world.
