Enjoy a three-course meal using produce shipped around the world on a sail-powered boat. Global Generation have partnered with the Sail Cargo Alliance, a group of passionate sailors who ship produce from around the world on restored sail cargo ships.
The evening will start with an introduction to Sail Cargo by founding member of New Dawn Traders Alexandra Geldenhuys and Gareth Maeer from Raybel Charters, a project set-up to restore a sailing barge “so she may join a growing fleet of ships able to deliver cargo by harnessing the great, unlimited power source of the wind. As well as directly reducing the carbon emissions of transport the sailing barge will act as a catalyst and inspiration to further wind-powered initiatives, joining a wider national and international network of sustainable transport enterprises.”
The project is exciting, ambitious and rich in collaborative potential, The crew are eager to meet Knowledge Quarter partners over a three-course meal, all produce brought over on their travels and cooked-up by the chefs at the Skip Garden.
