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.

Did she manufacture it for this trip? Like Jesus, everybody knows it uses energy to create things, thanks Bill Nye. But given that yachts, planes, ocean liners, sail boats, rocket ships, hover craft, and literally every thing that could cross an ocean required energy to create, choosing the one of what was already built that offers zero emissions for the trip, seems to make sense. And she sacrificed convenience to ensure HER TRIP was zero emissions.
I swear if she swam you’d say her bathing suit isn’t carbon neutral lol
