The Rainbow Warrior is perhaps the most famous Greenpeace ship. The current Rainbow Warrior was launched on 10 July 1989. The original vessel was sunk in 1985 by agents of the French government in an attempt to foil protests of their nuclear weapons testing in the Pacific.
The plan backfired, sparking worldwide outrage, and the rebuilt ship proved that “you can’t sink a rainbow” when it returned to battle successfully against the testing programme. Nuclear testing ended at Moruroa in 1996.
The ship’s name was inspired by a North American Indian prophecy …

Who said its not possible to walk or hop on water?? Aquaskipper, the crazy human powered vehicle makes impossible possible. Hydrofoil wings makes the ride smoother and faster..
The design of the aquaskipper, fiberglass spring & the hydrofoil wings are the key factors which helps the person to fly across water simply by hopping up and down. Compared to its size it weighs only 26 pounds & as the hydrofoil wings have less drag in the water the ride is very powerful. Its a great craft to try new tricks & …

Boat owners who do their own maintenance and repair work must be aware of the environmental consequences, and must learn the basic steps they can take to protect the environment, remembering that they themselves are part of what they will be protecting. If they prefer to use professional maintenance, they should apply the same basic principles to the yard that is doing the work.
.Boaters enjoy the best of our waterways, the peace of being on the water, the ability to interact with nature, and the beauty of the open spaces. …

Teak is one of the strongest and most durable hardwoods in the world. Known as the “King of Woods”, Teak is one of the most desirable and endangered woods. Considered by mariners to be the most valuable and versatile hardwood, its rare beauty, its rich golden brown luster, its decorative grain and its unique properties of strength, stability, and resistance to wear have made it the most demanded wood for marine use.

Teak is found naturally in only four countries in the entire world. Burma, Thailand, Laos and India each have …

Oceans can no longer be exploited and neglected. Marine debris kills more than one million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals and turtles each year. Ocean Conservancy is on a global mission to save the oceans for more than thirty years. Ocean Conservancy envisions a future in which no place on earth is ignored in the fight against debris. The International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) is a fundamental aspect of this vision.
.Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup is the world’s largest volunteer event of its kind. Thousands of volunteers participate from all over …

If there is one thing we can safely predict and be sure of on this planet, it is the coming and going of the tide. This gives this form of renewable energy a distinct advantage over other sources that are not as predictable and reliable, such as wind or solar.
Tidal energy is produced through the use of tidal energy generators. These large underwater turbines are placed in areas with high tidal movements, and are designed to capture the kinetic motion of the ebbing and surging of ocean tides in order …

While most boats on the water today are powered by diesel engines, and sail power and gasoline engines are also popular, it is perfectly feasible to power boats by electricity too..
Electric boats were very popular from the 1880s until the 1920s, when the internal combustion engine took dominance. Since the energy crises of the 1970s, interest in this quiet and potentially renewable marine energy source has been increasing steadily again, especially as solar cells became available, for the first time making possible motorboats with an infinite range like sailboats. The …

The Monaco Yacht Show is well aware of the scale of the danger our planet is facing. That is why it has adopted a sustainable development strategy over the past three years which consists in paying an ecology tax each year to help fund ecology projects throughout the world. This ecology tax is calculated on the basis of carbon dioxide emissions caused by exhibitors, visitors and yachts presented in the in-water exhibition (including transport, accommodation and arrival at Monaco of the yachts themselves). The Monaco Yacht Show is continuing its …

What if man could create cloud cover that would reflect the sun’s rays back into the universe and thus shade the earth to keep it cool? Sounds far-fetched? Guess what. It’s one of the top innovative ideas of preventing global warming and scientists are working on it to make it a reality! They have come up with a ‘Cool Yacht’ to do the trick. Check it out.
Professors John Latham and Stephen Salter have designed a fleet of that would pump fine particles of sea-water into clouds, thickening them …
