Sailing for Future / Chatelperron

The title is being discontinued by the publisher - so now at a special price!

Five young people sail around the world in a catamaran with a changing crew. Many photos and original diary entries by the young crew illustrate the journey, about which the channel arte has produced a 15-part series. This "adventure holiday" pursues a mission: to search for, test, improve and rebuild low-tech products all over the world and use them to live in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way.

Corentin de Chatelperron, engineer for "green solutions" and builder of a boat in which glass fibres have been replaced by natural fibres, describes low-tech ideas and inventors from all over the world.

He and his fellow campaigners pass on the knowledge they have gained - not only during their journey, but also in cooperation with NGOs, which use it to help refugee camps or crisis regions to help themselves, for example.

Instructions for special low-tech solutions and additional QR codes for detailed instructions and films make the title a practical handbook.

240 pages, 288 illustrations and photos, format 21 x 24 cm, paperback. German edition.
