How does high-tech Formula 1 racing fit in with sustainability? Cornelius Eich talks openly and honestly about the challenges: Despite all the environmental problems, carbon fibre is currently irreplaceable, but the team is actively looking for new materials and recyclable components. The expert explains the paths they are taking and how technologies in boatbuilding are evolving.
The Ocean Race Europe was a farewell to the previous boat and a starting signal for a new, more sustainable campaign until 2030. Cornelius Eich explains the team's plans for this.
Malizia participates in marine research
Another of Malizia's core concerns: marine conservation and science. In this episode, all listeners learn details about the Ocean Pack, an on-board measuring device used to collect climate data from remote marine regions. This data is intended to help research. An exciting finding: parts of the ocean are now emitting even more CO2 than they can absorb.
Cornelius Eich is optimistic, but realistic: "Political processes are slow, but the Malizia team is still pushing ahead with projects, education and networks. It's about more than just winning - it's about education, enthusiasm and movement towards sustainability in sailing.
If you want to know how sailing and environmental protection can be combined, you should definitely listen to this episode.
