VEGA - SAILCARGO's New Ship - SAILCARGO INC. 2022

[@lisettejudo]

Wow, so great to see where the Vega is going now! I had the joy to sail with her as a teenaged trainee a few years ago, and it truly was one of the most amazing experiences in my life. This ship has been the source of fond memories for so many! Glad to see that she'll be cared for lovingly

[@Nerd3927]

Hinco Veenstra is The Expert in classical shipping. Good to have him onboard. Very cool step, but also a huge responsibility.

[@jonathansimmonds5784]

Tell me, why should a surveyor of superyachts be of any use with a 19th century wooden tall ship?

[@Nerd3927]

@@jonathansimmonds5784 As far as I know he is the expert in getting historical vessels certified. No certificate, no insurance and you just bought the most expensive pile of damp firewood.

A fantastic new adition for SailCargo...And the great building of the ship...A copper bottom...all bronze bolts ..I have never seen this... This ship needs no docking I guess...Nothing can grow on this hull... Hope to be able to sail with this ship....And do not forget that it all begun with the Tres Hombres in 2009. Thanks everyone who works on a cleaner world....

[@robm.4512]

Splendid!! Hopefully she’ll be able to operate with enough profit, after her own costs, to produce a surplus that will provide financial input to accelerate Ceba’s build. She’s a beautiful vessel, well done for bringing it all together. 😎👍🍻🇬🇧

[@brianlouishaddock4551]

I can’t see the big oil producing countries just turning of the tap, shipping will still need clean diesel, it is virtually smoke less , than the black bunker fuel , and with scrubbers,it is super clean.

[@dwel2928]

Danielle & company, please don't listen to the naysayers or let them dampen your idealism. Everyone who has ever introduced something new or different has had them, from Columbus to Steve Jobs. And probably the guy who first fastened a handle onto a stone hammer! Bravo to all of you in this project!!

[@yepiratesworkshop7997]

Make rum. Ship rum. The sloshing in charred wooden kegs in the hold of a sailing ship will have it mellowed nicely -- probably equal to a 10-year aged rum -- by the time it arrives. Sell it as "the real stuff, shipped by sail at sea in the old way." I think a lot of modern sailors and pirate reenactors would make a pretty good sized market for such a brand. I mean, who would have anything else aboard their sailboats? If you want an idea of how big that market would be, just drive around marinas and count the number of masts sticking up in the air.

[@grantsmythe8625]

Wishing all of you the very best of everything and hoping that you make tons of money.

[@rossarthur116]

Brilliant, she looks perfect. Love the bow thruster set-up

[@tomwilliams8675]

A beautiful ship. Look forward to the voyage video to her new home.

[@felipericketts]

Wow, so awesome to learn about Vega! Wonderful to know she exists and exciting to know she will soon deliver sustainably produced products. Thanks for sharing the path you are traveling! 🙂

[@kenmcintosh962]

Wow nice purchase. Absolutely love your efforts and ideas but this is the first thing your organisation has done that actually equates to you having an actual commercial venture in process. I say this because it's taking way to long to launch your ship Ceba, Ships do not make money by standing still and that includes the building time. Keep up the fantastic work and fair winds and following seas to the crew.

[@johnmaliskey7951]

I'm so happy that the torch has been passed to Sail Cargo. You don't realize that there are sailing vessels in active service (other than Dhows in the Middle East). My hope is that you blog both vessels while under sail, entering port, tying up, loading/unloading and leaving a port. Adjusting sails under various weather conditions is a feature I look forward to watching. ........................ enjoy

[@captneth-theroyalseacorp.6122]

Oh my, that's my style of boat. I wept when I saw her sailing,

[@johnanchor2415]

Fair winds Vega! Many great adventures I have experienced with her. ⛵️

[@holgerkrutzelmann5457]

That is awesome! You have inherited something that will carry on for generations.

[@ritayoung6088]

All the best in this next step of Sailcargo!

[@mikewalrus4763]

Fantastic News both for Sailcargo and the World, soon hopefully the world will be criss crossed with non polluting sailing vessels of all sizes reducing the human carbon footprint, giving work to many and so beautiful to see - a WIN - WIN situation surely?

[@badcat4707]

Congrats !! She's a beauty :-) hopefully you guys will be making video's of her ? like a walk through , and maybe even the trip home to Costa Rica and others . many of your subscribers would love to see that ! :-)

[@simonmaton]

Excellent guys, a great addition to the cause.

[@brianpesci]

Congratulations, may she have many years of good sailing!

[@steven4315]

The last commercial sailing ship to round Cape Horn was in 1958. It was hauling wheat from Australia to Europe.

[@bartjohnson8139]

Such a beautiful addition! Congratulations on the acquisition! I know that you will give Vega all of the love that she deserves.

[@TheMunkarp]

Nice boat, hope this boat will serve you well. greetings from Sweden.

[@waynedoeblin6801]

Great news,a very interesting update 🙂

[@ronnymabrink1633]

Bra jobbat, Detta är framtiden

[@maxrudder6091]

I love what SailCargo is doing. Phil Bolger designed a sailing cargo ship that could be built on a beach Vanuatu with basic skills from steel. It was to be a 95-foot gaff rigged sharpie that could carry bulk cargo as well as inter-island passengers. The ship is featured in his book, "Boats With an Open Mind." The fore-and-aft unstayed gaff rig would require far fewer crew than a square-rigger and have better ability to sail to windward. I think it could even be scaled up with one or two more masts and modified to carry containers.

[@paazbra]

Beautiful ship

[@fonhollohan2908]

Beautiful vessel and surely has lots of life left in her. She's basically a new boat. Copper sheathing her haul will help the haul last for a very very long time. As long as you can protect the deck from fresh water that is the key to making a boat last. It's the fresh water that's the killer to most boats and the sea worms but this haul has got the copper sheathing which is fabulous for protection. That's a great purchase, good for you's guy's. You can tell its bitter sweet for the previous owner's to have to move on, as I said, you can tell.

[@chriswren3138]

She is actually Vega Gamleby not to be confused with other vessels using the name Vega.

[@JayCWhiteCloud]

Awesome...Thanks for sharing another great video and a great step forward for realizing Sailcargo's goals of sustainable shipping...!!!

[@glutenfreegam3r177]

This has been my dream for decades!

[@VenturiLife]

She's a fine ship.

[@careylogan7639]

AWESOME!!!!!! I really like the build videos of Ceba, but now we get to go on a working vessel!!! I am so excited for you, individually and collectively as a company. You ARE the future. Vega is going to really make things happen. Can she be productive? I am SURE she will be because of the dedication of the company and crew. I just wish I was younger so I could help make this happen. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I can't wait to hit the high seas with you!! I'm so excited, I just can't hide it!!!! (as the song goes) Thank you for allow me to live my dream through you and your adventures. I cannot thank you enough.

Congratulations

[@ctdenison4285]

Hey! I just heard Hannah on the radio in Sydney and had to Google tall ship cargo and up came KZbin videos. So I watched this video and I’ve learnt so much so far. Who knew tall ships working in cargo was a today thing? Not this little black duck! So now I’ll check out your website and watch other videos. Great stuff.

[@CLou-zy3ut]

So heartwarming to see how Vega is continued to be cared for by loving sailors. 🥺

[@AnthonyTristramMoore]

[@wandeenboatbuilding3524]

How exciting, Well done. And a bow-thruster too. Seems like a real nice family. Looking forward to more to more videos.

[@markzieg3593]

Yah, that bow thruster caught my eye, too. Pretty cool fusion of old with the new. Amazing copper planking.

[@MBlueFrank]

WONDERFULL! The best to you from Canada

[@HoellikinKoellikin]

Courageous decision but totally the right thing to use this opportunity now! If I had the capital, I would absolutely invest and support your endeavour!

[@jonathansimmonds5784]

A fool and his money are soon parted.

[@wmanadeau7860]

Not how to get rich quick, but could be a sound investment if all goes well. An early 1980s attempt at using a coastal schooner to trade along the northeast US coast failed when the boat wrecked on rocks, a sailor I know blamed lack of local piloting knowledge. Much can go wrong shipping by sail. I wonder if many of the crew trained on tall ship training ships. More power to them.

[@luuk341]

Beautiful ship! I wish her fair seas and following winds

[@WaywardLifeSailing]

Wow she's beautiful! so cool to see you guys making moves like this!

Amazing! regards from Brazil.

Scandinavia's loss is Sailcargos gain. Congratulation with the purchase of such an amazing vessel.

[@iamgroot7147]

could you reupload this with the swedish a-roll audio on the right speaker as well? it is very irritating. espeachially with headphones. besides that congratulations. it's amazing how you manage to stay in front the awaking competition.

[@ThaJay]

Beautiful and good luck! All the voice audio is on the left channel, could that still be fixed?

[@FlatFifties]

From Columbia to New Jersey? I hope customs searches every millimeter of the ship every trip. With dogs.

[@neilmcmanus3727]

very cool to da max

[@kiwi_welltraveled4375]

Two amazing, beautiful ships! When you start commercially moving cargo will you be selling working/training berths to the public to help cover costs? Massive Respect from Aotearoa, New Zealand 😀👍💙💛

[@stevenholton438]

I hope Danielle will answer you!

[@BohemianBeatster]

Groovy video

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

This looks like the perfect home for this tall ship to continue the life & the love to carry on the legacy created by the Bergsrom family. Amazing machinery rotting in museums like animals in a zoo seem so tragic to me.

[@projectsfromtheworkbench]

I'm really curious in the cargo aspects. Such as will the ports in the US easily be able to accommodate such ships? And how will the moving of commercial cargo be received by the longshoremen?

[@mruiz8607]

Niche market. no real way to make real profit at real cost. They wont be shipping stuff across the Atlantic that would not cost more in wages/ food and maintaining for a crew then what they could carry.

[@Abadan83]

Please continue making video´s of the new build and the "old sailing.

[@edholm2859]

congrats!!! so nice...

[@oskar3514]

Great new!!!

[@adamkay9897]

Amazing ship

[@williamcantalamessa5231]

This is so awesome to be up a running so early in the game. Hello from Siesta Key Florida

[@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb]

So, Ceba is going to take a decade to complete? Smh.

[@jaimedDR]

OK, so which is bigger/longer?

[@SeaDog-Si]

The surveyor didn't pick up on the rotten mast? it looks like he looked at them...

[@steveschwartz6138]

I would love to crew on that ship someday.

[@TwilightMysts]

While I am very intrigued, I question it's economic viability. This ship will have orders of magnitude more crew per unit of cargo, plus significantly longer transit times (a hit both because people wait longer for their cargo and you have to pay the crew for longer for each trip). I also suspect that loading/unloading will be much harder than on modern cargo ships. I do hope you can make it work. One of my dreams is a sailing catamaran that could function as a research vessel or a cargo carrier. But it would cost far too much for me to build out of pocket, and I doubt it would be profitable enough to get investors to pay for it. Also, bringing on investors means someone else owns my dream, which I really hate. But still, I wish you the best of luck!

[@jaridkeen123]

The future is all about being Substantable, we need to rethink how we live. The days of Next day delivery is over, its destructive to our environment and overworking employees. We need to Slow Down in Life, enjoy the moment. We shouldn't have tons of bills, we should be able to work 2 maybe 3 months a year. The rest should be spent farming and being with community and family

Hi, beautiful vessel. Where in New Jersey will she be shipping to?

[@georgeh9967]

cut the damn music, cant hear anyone talking.

[@caleb_güero]

I'd love to work on a sail cargo ship. I've worked on a recreation 17th century Pinnace and a recreation 18th century Brig (Brigantine). But it's mostly for Passengers and public sails/education. I'd love to actually work for a honest sail cargo ship.

[@jaridkeen123]

I cant hear anything

[@avonneave2131]

Very nice, it would be great if they were to chip in on the "Ceba" , all the best from here on the West Coast side of Australia 🌏 Cape Naturaliste 🤟🙏🖖

[@Phil-ws9vb]

Awesome!

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

3 mast topsail schooner?

[@Goldfinger140]

An introduction of a cargo ship without out mentioning once the cargo capacity or the cargo facilities or the intended routes and shipping times. It’s just nostalgia.

[@romandybala]

Group of sailors who want someone else to pay for their dreams. Put in the words sustainable, green , non polluting and youve convinced the dreamers. Ask why sail stopped, because it was no longer viable.

[@Appachoppa112]

SoT barrels and fruits 😂

[@bruceevans2137]

can passengers go on this and learn to sail?

[@rhavrane]

Bonjour, What a great news ! You have had an amazing opportunity and I am very happy for you. Copper instead of steal, hull covered also with copper, who could have imagined such a quality built. I hope you will share your adventures with Vega as you do it with Ceiba, never enough to my opinion ;+) Little question, who will be her crew and how many sailors will be needed ? Amicalement, Raphaël

[@miles2378]

The Copper is meant to revent Sea worms from burowing into the wood and destroying the wooden structure.

Love sailing ships. Have built one of my own. But...one realises that the maintenance costs of sailing ships are way higher than steamers. You can't expect that they will be competative Nice dreaming. Maybe if you go extreme high tech. Carbon fibre. Foiling, solar power. Otherwise good luck wiht your sponsors

[@TelmoDuarte-r8t]

I was following acorn to Arabella wen i learned of your project Ceiba, its such a shame you stopped releasing her progress on the build...gess you no longer need yotube to help finance...
