Beat Popeye the Sailorman with Project GreenJet SY120

Sailing is something that is not easy to do. It may look simple but actually, it requires some skills and knowledge regarding the forces that keeps the boat moving, wind and water. But if you really love the beauty of the sea and are fond of sailing, all the efforts will be worthy. If that is the case, I am sure that you will be jumping out of amazement after reading this.

Project GreenJet SY120 is the new developed modern day sailboat, an aquatic medium that showcases elegance and technological brilliance. This sailboat promises a faster, more efficient and less labor seafaring. Less labor because it can actually be controlled by a single man with a touchscreen included in the boat’s automated system control.

Wow! Imagine, there’s no more need for a group of sailors working on changing the rigging, the rudder and the hull.

As for the energy that keeps the SY120 moving, the key is the difference between the movement of the wind and the water. The energy coming from this relative movement of wind and water is harnessed by the boat at its interface. That is done by placing the sail/sails of the boat in the air and the hulls in the water.

The project was worked on for 4 years. I would say it was worth it considering the good impact it can give not only in sailing but also in the international trading business.
