Revised and updated illustration showing final plans of the Rainbow Warrior III which is to be completed in time for Greenpeace's 40th anniversary in 2011. It will include the very latest in green technology, making it ideal for use in Greenpeace's campaign to avert catastrophic climate change.The Rainbow Warrior III will be built primarily to sail (thus using wind energy instead of fossil fuels), with the option in unsuitable weather conditions to switch over to engine-powered, diesel-electric propulsion. The A-frame design of the mast and the positioning of the sails have been optimised for efficiency and the shape of the hull has been designed for maximum fuel conservation. Heat created by the generators will be re-used to heat water on board and for engine pre-heating.
