 +=== Ship Designs ===
 +
 +There are more people putting together designs for cargo vessels to be built from the ground up. These are not projects as such, but designs that could be used by a project.
 +
 +== Scruffie (Australia) ==
 +
 +The design for a Sail Electric, two versions 64 and 100 feet.
 +Steel hull, gaff ketch rig, 
 +The 100 foot version has space for 2 20 foot containers or a 40 foot, utilising the container standardisation. On board crane only does 1 tonne, so it will not be able to unload the containers itself. Bilge keels for tidal work, with dagger boards.
 +

 +
 +== Tad Roberts cargo Schooner ==
 +
 +52 and 60 foot schooners. Steel hull, V bottom 16 foot long cargo area, inspired by Grand Banks fishers.
 +
 +http://www.tadroberts.ca/services/new-design/sail/steelcargoschooner60
 +
 +==  Ville Matias Lindén ==
 +
 +Finnish designer, completed a wooden design.
 +Laminated frames for strangth, wooden hull for ease of repair, schooner, based on New England fishing boats for speed. Designed for the Pacific coast of middle and south America.
 +17 meter length, 4.6m breadth.
 +
 +No public version of it, documented in his Master's Thesis, 2018. Lots of calculations and comparisons, good to read.
 +
 +== Seafret ==
 +A French project, looks very high tech and pricey. 2012 development, 2015 last update.

 +=== SCA meetings in spring and autumn === 
 +The SCA, the Sail Cargo Alliance, is a loose network of sail cargo practitioners. All projects have taken part in some meetings, but there is a very loose structure. 
 + 
 +One of the issues that the SCA and all sail cargo groups are dealing with are the standards that they speak about, what emmisions they actually have and allow, how they claim that and document it. 
 + 
 +=== 2014 NSRSail conference in Harlingen===
 The meeting is interim and tried to outline the current state of the project. Parallel to it, a stakeholders meeting was being held on the ship "Stad Amsterdam" which a few of us talked ourselves into. The meeting is interim and tried to outline the current state of the project.

 While its acronym is relatively general, Media Art Research Interdisciplinary Network, there is a strong Makrolab taste about these projects.

Ran 2009-2011, unsure about current status. While its acronym is relatively general, Media Art Research Interdisciplinary Network, there is a strong Makrolab taste about these projects.
