Greenpeace to Build New, Green Flagship. By John Vidal, Guardian (UK), January 17, 2010. "German and Polish shipyards will shortly start work on Greenpeace's £14m flagship, a mega-yacht that will become the third Rainbow Warrior next year. It will be one of the biggest yachts to have been commissioned in the last decade with, say the designers, a massive 1,300 sq metres of sail supported on two A-frame masts… It will be one of the greenest ships afloat and a satellite system will allow campaigners to stream video footage from anywhere in the world… The new ship will have both diesel and electric engines but these are expected to be in use for less than 10% of its time at sea."
