Lynx Guimond of Sailcargo Inc. is an adventurous carpenter and shipwright with an inspiring mission.

He’s created a homestead in Costa Rica, uniting a team of over 20 shipbuilders from around the globe to embark on the quest to create a zero-emissions cargo eco-ship called Ceiba, to cross the Atlantic ocean between Central America and Europe. 

He shares the story of how he went from bee-keeping in the mountains to creating a sustainability-focused shipyard from scratch.

Assembling a team of naval carpenters from around the world, he’s imported their expertise to share with the local craftsmen, all aligned in a common vision.

In complement to the shipyard’s mission of revolutionizing ocean travel, the crew’s been developing a sustainable homestead, using slow and small solutions.

In a short period of time, they’ve come to produce a generous amount of organic food for themselves, right at home on their beachfront property!

To top it off, Lynx and crew have been heading up reforestation programs through their non-profit, Trees for Seas!

The food forests and greenhouse are passion projects, built by those who live there and are enriched with filtered greywater systems, composting toilets, and more.

The positive social environment at the shipyard is a reflection of the creative spirit cultivated at Sailcargo.

Experimenting with appropriate technologies is a big focus for Sailcargo. 

If you watch the video tour, you’ll get to see several of their innovation on our YouTube channel. 

The principles taught in a Permaculture Design Course lay the foundation for thinking designed to stimulate these kinds of innovations.  The innovations that come from that kind of thinking can be very exciting.  

I’ve found a high-quality, low-cost online course that offers not only all of the recordings from a permaculture design course that was taught by some of the leaders in the field, like Paul Wheaton and Tim Barker, but it’s bundled together with another two-week course that was taught, focusing specifically on appropriate technologies. 

They teach you how to build a Rocket Oven, Solar Food Dehydrator, Biosand Filter, Rocket Water Heater, and more!
