Stable High Pressure Zones Welcome back everyone! This week we explain our modelling in periods of little or no wind. How does the system cope with stable high pressure zones, the Variables, and extended periods of calm? Planning a passage on any yacht involves predicting a weather window when you can travel in suitable winds…

CMG aboard all sailing yachts Welcome back everyone! Something we get a lot of response to relates to our claims that CMG can benefit them on their yacht. Our claim of unlimited range and faster passage times is challenged as unreasonable because the demonstration vessel Whio II is a ‘performance’ catamaran, and such energy would…

Welcome back everyone! I was intrigued by a recent video from RAN sailing, where they discuss the delay in departure for their transatlantic cruise.  We thought it may be useful to write about how we envision Whio II performing in this exact scenario.  Our claim is one of unlimited range. You should be able to…

Hello! We’re happy to be back this year and excited to talk with you all again! To start off this year we want to address the more negative topic of greenwashing in the marine industry. This is a significant problem that is not only troublesome on its own but also hinders progress towards real eco-friendly…

Thanks you to all of you who have joined our community and are following our project.  We at CMG wish you all a happy and healthy new year. We are looking forward to getting the final designs and construction started in 2022 and show the world how to go 100% zero emissions. In the 13th…

Last week’s Blog on Jimmy Cornell stimulated a lot of conversation. This week we thought we would highlight how CMG’s approach differs from Skip’s vision of a safe and reliable exploration vessel. We want to highlight that this boat is built for a very specific purpose which differs from our vision.  As a charter vessel…

Jimmy Cornell, a name you may be very familiar with, gave a lecture to the Cruising Association about his experience with a zero-emissions project. The yachting legend talked in detail about the vessel, Aventura Zero and the ELCANO Challenge. Today we want to talk a little bit about what we can learn and how we…

Welcome back everyone. Just a brief update regarding what’s been going on recently. We had a grand plan in line with the METSTRADE show in Amsterdam last week. METS is the world’s largest B2B marine trade show, although with this year’s restrictions, it probably won’t be. Many companies elected to stay home or to only…

Welcome back everyone! This time we’re here to talk about COP26 and eliminating ICE from the marine industry. The COP26 climate change conference has come to an end recently and world leaders have signed a new climate agreement. Progress has been made in some respects, but it is a far-cry from what is truly needed.…

Hello again everyone! Recently, researchers with the National Renewable Energy Research Labs, a department of the DoE in the USA, published a paper entitled “Optimal strategies for a cost-effective and reliable 100% renewable electricty grid“. It’s interesting and relevant because it is based on extending the smart energy system to the US, even if the…
