Looking closer, however, the ship\u2019s hull is built for capacity.<\/p>\n<p>The boat can hold 18,000 bottles of wine \u2013 its cargo of choice \u2013 and will be arriving on Monday at Brooklyn Bridge Park\u2019s One15 Marina, slightly less than half full with 8,000 bottles. It also will be carrying 450 chocolate bars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you taste the products, you are also tasting the adventure and sustainable development,\u201d said 54-year-old Jacques Barreau, who built the boat with his twin brother, Olivier.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The boat, whose only motor is a 6-horsepower engine that\u2019s required by law for docking at US ports, cost just around $1.5 million to build. It has modern navigation <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> and is made of aluminum for speed and durability. It also features mini-wind turbines, solar panels and hydro generators.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To scale the business, Grain de Sail plans on developing a fleet of three cargo sailboats that can transport 350 tons of cargo each, doing three transatlanticloops a year, said wine director Matthieu Riou.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe operate dedicated and direct routes for high value added products with relatively small ships that can operate fully by sail,\u201d Riou said. \u201cThinking holistically, we seek to provide sustainable shipping for sustainably produced products from far away in an eco-responsible manner, reducing transportation\u2019s carbon footprint.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"890\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Jacques-BARREAU-1.jpg?w=890\" alt=\"Jacques Barreau\" class=\"wp-image-22124654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Jacques-BARREAU-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1780 1780w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Jacques-BARREAU-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1335 1335w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Jacques-BARREAU-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=890 890w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Jacques-BARREAU-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=445 445w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Jacques-BARREAU-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\"\/><figcaption>The 54-year-old Jacques Barreau, built the boat with his twin brother, Olivier. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Grain de Sail<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Olivier-barreau.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Olivier Barreau\" class=\"wp-image-22125031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Olivier-barreau.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Olivier-barreau.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Olivier-barreau.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Olivier Barreau<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Grain de Sail<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Indeed, the main reason it\u2019s more expensive to ship by sailboat is because the boat is smaller, according to Barreau. It takes about three weeks to cross the Atlantic. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we were able to have a cargo sailboat the size of a conventional cargo ship, the cost would be <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roximately the same,\u201d Barreau said.<\/p>\n<p>Grain de Sail\u2019s first launch was in the fall of 2020. The idea was simple: The brothers sourced cacao and coffee beans in Peru and Central America, shipped them to France, where they produce the chocolate and roast the coffee, then return by cargo sailboat with the finished products.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the wine \u2013 which is artisanal, biodynamic and organic French \u2013 is in the \u201c$20 to $45 range\u201d of affordable luxury, Barreau said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the company generated around $8 million in revenue. This year it\u2019s slated to be around $10.5 million and next year projections are up to close to $17 million. That\u2019s a big jump from their $315,000 revenue in 2016, Barreau noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/OCABANON-MIX-BOUTEILLES-1-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Wine bottles\" class=\"wp-image-22124894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/OCABANON-MIX-BOUTEILLES-1-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/OCABANON-MIX-BOUTEILLES-1-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/OCABANON-MIX-BOUTEILLES-1-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The boat can hold 18,000 bottles of wine \u2013 its cargo of choice \u2013 and will be arriving on Monday at Brooklyn Bridge Park\u2019s One15 Marina, slightly less than half full with 8,000 bottles. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Grain de Sail<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWe are growing quickly thanks to our unique combination of products and sustainable delivery,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> will include some pricey champagne to mark the 200th anniversary of Champagne house Charles Heidsieck, plus wines from Chateau Maris, from the Minervois in the south of France; la Ferme de la Sansonni\u00e8re in the Loire Valley and Grain de Sail wines from Burgundy.<\/p>\n<p>Their plan is to build a chocolate factory in New York as well, Barreau said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Grain de Sail will also be delivering wine to local restaurants and partnering with the marina\u2019s restaurant, Estuary, for wine tastings on May 11 and May 18.
