More than just a book about sailing, Go for the Green is a clarion
call to bring sailing out of the doldrums and into an expanded role
as a catalyst for the more environmentally sensitive enjoyment of
the sea. As a former Coast Guard Officer, active racer, cruiser and
yacht designer, author Garry Hoyt combines a lifetime of sailing
experience, with a weather eye to uncover the new challenges of
global warming and the need for energy independence.
His prediction that carbon based fuels will eventually draw the
same degree of social scorn that smoking now receives, creates an
automatic need for ingenuity in the harnessing of sail and solar
power as better alternatives for water based recreation. To
encourage readers along that path, Hoyt presents a philosophy and a
variety of new design solutions to stimulate more creative design
development. He makes his case in a simple, readable style that
will interest all those who love the sea.
