She didn't "catch a ride" lol. People had to fly to her destination to bring the craft back. The thing weighs over 7 tons most of that carbon fiber which is nearly impossible to recycle. You can make an argument that this was an awareness campaign but to argue it's a green trip is ridiculous.
It's not a zero emissions sail boat unless you have no understanding of the entire energy lifecyle that goes into various modes of transport. If you think this vessel is zero emissions then you think solar panels are zero emissions. Even a Tesla Model 3 charged by hydro power still takes 4-6 years to make back its carbon footprint used to manufacture.
