A start-up launches Channel sail crossings as a low-carbon alternative

SailLink's catamaran, a British start-up focused on making sailing a low-carbon alternative to ferries across the English Channel, is setting off on its first paid journey. These trips, beginning this week, are expected to run daily. "What SailLink is, more than anything, is symbolic proof, demonstration that things can be done differently," said Andrew Simons, founder and captain of SailLink.
