Sustainability Under Sail: A Fair for the Wind-Powered Maritime Future
Sailing Sustainability: Fair Winds Collective at School
The 6th-grade classes welcomed a special guest: Peggy Engelmann, former colleague and founder of Fair Winds Collective. She shared her inspiring story of transporting fair trade organic products across the Atlantic by sailing ship. The students explored topics of sustainable trade, life aboard a tall ship, and the environmental challenges facing our oceans today. Peggy’s message was clear: protecting the seas means rethinking how we transport goods. The visit ended on a sweet note—with a taste of fairly sailed, organic chocolate.
Freedom, Sustainability, and Life at Sea
January 2020, Peggy Engelmann stepped aboard the schooner Avontuur, leaving her old life behind. During a 100-day Covid-delayed crossing, she discovered freedom, presence, and teamwork at sea. Sailing deepened her commitment to sustainability and taught her to live in harmony with the ship, the elements, and the world around her.
