3 The Fairtransport Ships<br />
3.1 The Tres Hombres<br />
The sailing general cargo brigantine Tres Hombres is the first ship, pioneering the<br />
new era of Sail Cargo. Started with the intention of being a pilot project to break<br />
open markets for sail cargo and generate goodwill on behalf of emission free shipping<br />
worldwide. She has been an exemplary model for the existing possibilities for<br />
sustainable shipping, and the ever expanding future of sail cargo ahead. The Tres<br />
Hombres is brigantine rigged and has a cargo capacity of 35 ton. Outfitted with 2<br />
double passenger cabins and room for 8 trainees and 5 professional crew, she is<br />
easily handled in her current operations. She is formed from a composite hull,<br />
wood planking on steel frames, and her fine hull was one of the first in history to<br />
be tank tested for hydrodynamic properties. She is a fast and reliable ship with<br />
consistently fast ocean crossing times and has expanded the Fair Transport market<br />
with low operating costs. Her successes over the past 10 years indicate positive<br />
opportunities for other vessels.<br />
