About Me
- Roger Retting
- Dingle, Ireland
- It is important for me to be involved with creating a sustainable environment. This project offers a solution to a problem of world transportation; it is not meant to be just a business making money for reasons other than healthy cultural development of mankind. I started sailing at 11 years old and at 13 owned my first sailboat. I graduated from the University of California with a degree in psychology and sociology. I was commodore of the university sailing club and skipper of the racing team. I sailed across the Pacific Ocean. I bought an old sailing fishing ship in Norway. Over the years I've owned 18 ships; later earning a United States Captain license (1600 tons) for commercial vessels. I spent my own money developing a sailing, beachable cargo ship prototype in Ireland between the years 1983 and 1989. It was 9 meters long and could transport 4 tons of cargo. It was not understood that larger ships could be built which were much more profitable. I didn't know how to market the project, so it was abandoned for many years. Four years ago I began again building a sailing, beachable cargo ship in India.
