The world’s largest sailing cargo ship is making its maiden transatlantic voyage. The 265-foot Anemos set off from France early this month and is on track to deliver 1,100 tons of cognac and champagne to New York on 3 Sept.
Its cloth sails and rigging are automatically deployed and handled — no jolly jack tars in the rigging — and can manage 11 mph on wind power while producing a tenth the carbon of an equivalent diesel ship.
Satellite weather monitoring allows it to find the best winds more easily than its forebears did.
