Amazing coverage of what is coming in the future to our favorite activity hehe. Times are definitely changing ; )

Wahey! Cheers Rafa - there’s a song in there somewhere ay 😉

So, glass is spun from sand and is mostly environmentally friendly as the process creates little byproduct. the flax would be environmentally friendly if it could break down naturally which I would imagine the resin protects from as much as it does for glass or what would be the point? cost?

Hey Mike, Thanks for getting involved, I think the main problem with the commonly used fibreglass in the marine sector is styrene. Both flax and basaltex can be used without styrene based resins which makes them more sustainable. There are fibreglass rovings that can do this too but they are not often used in mass production due to cost. I am aware of companies that are working toward epoxy resins that can be broken down allowing the fibres used to then be re-used or recycled - sadly there’s nothing on the market yet that I am aware about at present. There are uses for recycled composites for filleting etc though which is at least something good. - In general it seems that environmental composites are in their youth so right now we are looking at potential and prototyping, I look forward to seeing which way it all goes!

Thanks SH! looking forward to more articles on this.@@SailHub

[@BryanBowser]

Flax may be environmentally friendly but what resin are they using ?

[@SailHub]

Resin is always tricky at the moment. I know Greenboats are heavily invested in good bio resins and only use materials that are the best they can find for the environment. I believe the current leaders are Sicomin - sicomin.com/news/sicomin-greenpoxy-resins-chosen-by-greenboats

DJ low rise is the GOAT

I wonder how he got so good at speaking fluent English 🤔

In East Germany they used cotton for the body of the Trabant. Very old technology back then without eco buzzwords. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely in favor of conserving resources, I would like to have a fully electric sailing boat, but every second word environmental, green, resources, sustainability makes you crazy to listen.

[@SailHub]

Sure, it’s really hard to through the pile and down to the hood stuff - what really works. We’re working on a project to just that in all aspects of boatbuilding. Stay tuned!

There's a uk company AEM producing high torque electric motors for cars trucks and commercial vehicles that dont use rare earth metals or copper windings just steel an Al... They are highly efficient high torque and regen on a par with top permanent magnet tech.

Clive, thanks so much for letting us know! I’m gonna check them out! Thanks!

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

@@SailHub I tried putting up a direct link to an article about them but U tube just deleted it ...unlike the scammers porn links and crypto cons..🙄 Try looking under, Electric and Hybrid vehicle technology, on line and include the term advanced switched reluctance motors.. Like Lithium rare earth metals are rare ...its in the name 🤔 the production of them involves a great deal of pollution and energy as well as human and ecological suffering.. the way out is to use safer more common materials that prevent the trap of monopolies founded on geophysically scare's resources.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Check out a chemistry 🌍 article called Wizards of Wood... to go with your boat materials interests. Basalt is also a good idea to investigate.

[@SailHub]

Thanks, we will check definitely them out!

[@SailHub]

Yeah, we met the guys from Basaltex in a previous in our innovations episode, Cold War technology! We are also really keen on working with Flax. It’s great that more sustainable things are finally starting to be seen as viable alternatives👍

[@tarpanc34]

take a perfectly working 100 year old toilet system out and put in a cat litter box..... are you putting sea weed in that thing out at sea.. and way out at sea, what ya gunna do... store shit till next port.. the whole cat box on a boat.. just dont make any common sense to me..

[@SailHub]

To be fair.. In Scandinavian homes this has been the norm for way longer than the marine head has been around. One coconut husk bag lasts six weeks and you don’t have a full toilet due to the dehydration. We are sceptical too - it seems too much to believe. So we have one coming in test to find out. Let’s see how it performs - if it is as good as they say it seems that the system could actually be superior!😮
