A revolutionary mast system was raised recently on the new Greenpeace flagship[ds_preview] »Rainbow Warrior III« at the Fassmer shipyard. The highly efficient 55 m-high
A-Frame mast system, created by the Dutch naval architecture firm Dykstra & Partners, can carry far more sail than a conventional mast of the same size, and is the first time this design has been installed on a vessel of the size of »Rainbow Warrior«. The innovative ship is Greenpeace’s first purpose-built vessel, and will play a key role in future campaigns. The ship will be launched in Autumn 2011, to mark the organisation’s 40th anniversary.
