Our partnership with Skjoldnaes – The Old Boat of the Future – this magnificent wooden sailing ship built in 1936, continues with a new renovation session at the Gruissan shipyard in summer 2025. 

Watertrek is proud to join this unique initiative aimed at raising awareness about low-carbon solutions and technologies and protecting the sea. Activities such as pedaling a bike to blend smoothies, baking cookies in a solar oven, using a dynamo-powered projector, and other experiments are being launched to promote energy autonomy, essential for sailors and highly inspiring for people on land.

Everyone is invited to come discover these devices, participate, engage with the crew, and enjoy cultural events organized by the crew during the solidarity Café sessions offered according to the calendar and ports along the southern coast of France, as this year in Banyuls and Frontignan.

A unique project where past and future sail together toward a more respectful and sustainable world, which you are all invited to join, especially by proposing your own activity ideas or by joining the Low-tech coordinators. The dates for the traveling Café visits will be shared on the Skjoldnaes network and Watertrek platforms.
