CRUISING ON THE PRESIDENT'S YACHT
'2041'
Monday 14th June 2010

Chairman, Julian Salisbury heaves, ...

Andrew Woodward and Peter Stephenson heave too.

... and all have a jolly time.

Julian Rosser has a vision...

In 2002, at the 2nd World Summit on Sustainability held in Johannesburg, World Leaders gave Captain Scott Society's President, Robert Swan a global 10 year mission: to inspire young people, industry, and business on the issues of energy conservation, renewable energy, and to promote the positive roles individuals and business can play in the road to world sustainability. Robert will report back at the June 2012 World Summit in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Yacht '2041' and the Voyage for Cleaner Energy were born from this mission to inspire people throughout the world.
The Voyage for Cleaner Energy is an expedition by Robert Swan and his team at 2041 to increase awareness about environmental issues related to climate change and to inspire young people to lead the way in implementing practical, viable solutions. Starting in Cape Town, South Africa, yacht '2041' has spread the message of renewable energy and sustainability to places throughout the world, including Antarctica, Europe, and Australia, and has circumnavigated the coasts of both Africa and the United States of America. The yacht and Robert Swan have been featured guests of multiple universities and schools throughout the globe, as well as the 2009 UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. After voyaging almost 120,000 nautical miles over the past 8 years, the Voyage for Cleaner energy has connected with over 450,000 students from around the world with personal talks from Robert Swan. The yacht is fitted with a variety of eco-friendly features, including sails made entirely from recycled plastic bottles.
