By drastically reducing emissions, noise pollution, and harmful ship exhausts, sailed coffee contributes to climate protection and healthier oceans. It also sends a strong signal that sustainable shipping, fair trade and ocean protection are possible today.
Peggy Engelmann presents emission-free sailing at the Ocean Forum boot Düsseldorf 2026, connecting ocean science, emission free sailing, action, workshops, contributing to the UN Ocean Decade.
Flags of Hope is a creative ocean workshop by Peggy Engelmann. A flag for climate action - emission-free sailing vessels worldwide.
If every action matters, what would happen if we were brave? From 17–19 January 2026, Fair Winds Collective will be at boot Düsseldorf, sharing emission-free sailing, education, and climate action. Through talks and our Flags of Hope workshop, Peggy from the Fair Winds Collective invites visitors to rethink how we move, learn, and care for the ocean.
At the MCN Cup in Bremen, Fair Winds Collective reached the top three among innovative maritime projects. Our mission-zero, wind-powered approach resonated strongly with industry leaders and sparked valuable conversations. This recognition confirms that practical, emission-free solutions are gaining momentum, and that collaboration - not greenwashing - is what truly moves the maritime sector forward.
Fair Winds Collective, is bringing emission-free ocean science to sea through a collaboration with SOOP (Shaping an Ocean of Possibilities), Fair Transport’s Tres Hombres, and Tilvera Expeditions. By installing PlanktoScope instruments on wind-powered sailing vessels, the initiative enables high-quality plankton monitoring without adding emissions. This growing instrument pool supports global ocean observation, open data, and sustainable research - powered by wind and collaboration.
Discover Sustainability Under Sail in Den Helder: A symposium exploring wind-powered shipping, sail cargo, and maritime innovation on 9 November 2025.
The Fair Winds Collective Magazine has launched, showcasing 23 pioneering partners driving wind-powered shipping forward. Created to inform and inspire, it celebrates sustainable trade, maritime heritage, and purposeful collaboration. Each page reflects a shared vision, harnessing the wind to move cargo responsibly while uniting people, planet, and purpose.
